Just a note to you on ordering his records......be prepared to WAIT a LONG TIME......they say 6 to 9 months...BUT, I’ve been waiting almost 12 months for my own father in law’s WW2 records......I did contact LAC at 10 months....and they did confirm that my request is still being actioned, they just have so many requests (and the Federal Government cut LAC’s funding a few years ago...less staff) that it is taking longer.darmoores wrote: ↑Thu Nov 21, 2019 4:07 pmYes, Victor Ambrose Moores, 1920-1999, is my father. I just found Library and Archives Canada online, so I will order my father's records, and also my grandfather's records from WW1.Temujin wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2019 11:53 pmWas the Victor A Moores in your post above:darmoores wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 4:59 pmThank you for posting the No 45 General Transport Company, RCASC - Nominal Roll. My father was Private V.A. Moores (later Corporal) and I was happy to also see the name of his best buddy, J. McKenna. I had thought that my father was with No. 47 General Transport Company, RCASC. I don't know if that was incorrect information, or if he was later transferred to No. 47. I have several pictures of him and his unit. Would it be appropriate to post them here?
Victor Ambrose Moores
1920–1999
BIRTH 21 AUG 1920 • Montreal, Quebec, Canada
DEATH 12 OCT 1999 • Burlington, Ontario, Canada
And reviewing their Service Numbers, John Mckenna joined first in Military District 4 (Western Quebec).....his number D126563 tells us he joined the RCASC (Reinforcements)..........Victor A Moores joined later in Military District 4 (Western Quebec).....his number D126720 also tells us he joined the RCASC (Reinforcements).
If you wish, you could order his military records at LAC, if you have not already done this.
