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
