Anecdotes
Bill Clearihue reports (02/11/2014): "He joined the UNTD in October, 1943 and as the obit indicates, went into the RCNVR on active service for at least 1 year. I have no record of that service, but if it was in the Indian Ocean, and in a Canadian ship, it would have been in UGANDA. Returning to U of T post-war, there is no indication that he rejoined the UNTD."
