Re: J13111 Fg Off W D Powell
With the ups and downs of TOCH (which seems stable for the last 24 hrs-fingers crossed) this might have been missed? I know there are some who can solve this

Re: J13111 Fg Off W D Powell
Chris,
You may most likely trace his career (promotions etc.) in the Canada Gazette. It looks as though he's mentioned four times in the war years: https://recherche-collection-search....arch?q=J13111& Files probably need a download to retrieve his name and/or J13111 easier, unless you're happy to scroll thru hundreds of pages.... Regards, Leendert

Thanks both-it would appear his preferred name was Douglas
