When the 1LAAC changed to an infantry unit and changed their designation to the Lanark and Renfrew Scottish, there were men assigned to the LRS from holding units from other regiments. My Dad was one of them. There was also another Sergeant by the last name of Kane(or could be spelled Caine or Cane) who had also been brought in and from another regiment. The men called him "Candy". "Candy" was taken POW in fall of 1944 in Italy. Dad did see him again for a couple of minutes back in England when Dad was on draft to come home in late 1945. Any ideas on how I can find out what ever happened to "Candy"? Dad has always wanted to contact him and didn‘t know how since he didn‘t know the correct spelling of his last name or even what his correct first name was. Also, since they were both "shanghied" into the LRS Dad doesn‘t remember now what regiment Candy came from originally.
Anybody have any ideas where I can start?
