Alex, your ideas are very helpful.Interesting that your father was a baker/confectioner also.Your perspective has given me new things to think about and I appreciate it.The Canadian Forces did seem to turn a blind eye (or deaf ear as it were) to some things, allowing my own father (too young for WWII) to join up at the age of 15.Canada had a National Registration File in 1940 partly for the reason of seeing who had what kind of services to offer the war effort.It is a searchable database with the only stipulation being that the person being searched for has been deceased at least 20 years.There's the rub.
