Hello there,
I am w riting to find out how I go about researching some people in my family. What I do know is that my Grandfather was a Captain at the beginning of the War. (World War 2). He was in Royal Canadian Light Anti Aircraft. His diary talks about him serving in England throughout most of the war. In fact he didnt go to the Continent until after D-day apparently. However the thing is that apparently he had to switch to infantry. The question I have is that he received an award from Belgium that I have found out is quite an honor but other thatn that I know nothing about it. Its called "Chevalier de l'Ordere de Leopold II" However he did not speak of the war. I was wondering if there is a way to find out more about his services. His name was Lt. Col. Allen Hardie Wilson. He became a Major during the war, and he became a Lt. Col in the army reserve in Moose Jaw, SK. Any information you could give would be awsome.
Mike
