Re: 2nd Heavy Anti Aircraft Regiment, RCA - Nominal Roll - 17 Sep 1941

Hi. No, I wasn't able to get his records while he was alive. When you get a chance, if you could post the links so that I can get whatever I'm able to, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

Re: 2nd Heavy Anti Aircraft Regiment, RCA - Nominal Roll - 17 Sep 1941

Hi Temujin,

It's been several months! Hope you're well. We celebrated my father's 100th birthday August 7th, but sadly he passed away 9 days later.

would you be able to find my father's discharge date? Ronald Delaronde # D118458.

Thank you!

hi Temujin. What would my father's military record provide - where he was stationed, any wounds...? I would be interested in pursuing so yes, please send the links. You've been so helpful. Thanks again. Karen

temujin, thank you so so much. I find this fascinating. Hope to find more info. That's also his buddy, George Dewitt, listed below him in the nominal role. I will be visiting my father in January and hope to probe a little more, if he's up to it. Cheers!

Temujin- I misread one of your questions, but my father recently mentioned that that was the regiment he was in. He would not have gone by any name other than 'de la Ronde. Thanks!

thank you so much Temujin and BSBSM. I'll look through the information you provided. I'll see what other information I can dig up such as regimental number etc. While he signed up with the Montreal division, he was from St. Andrew's East, Quebec. Thanks again.

Re: 2nd Heavy Anti Aircraft Regiment, RCA - Nominal Roll - 17 Sep 1941

Hello. I happened on this site as I research my father's (Ronald de la Ronde) travels through Europe during the war.
