Oops I goofed. Earle Grasser was the original radio Lone Ranger beginning in April 1933. He died in an auto accident in 1941. Bob Hite Sr. was one of the anouncers on the show. Hi Yo Silver, Away!

I believe that the original radio voice of the Lone Ranger was Robert Hite Sr. He worked for CBS for about 30 years. His son Robert Jr. is a news anchor for WFLA-CH8 out of Tampa Florida. His daughter Cindy has a production company working out of Southern Florida and is also an entertainer in...

It will make a man of you hopefully, if not you can ship out to one of the Bum Boy Corps and have an easy time. (Sorry George)

Mark you are so right, I wonder did you turn your socks inside out also. BTW how is your mother? believe me I can commensurate with you on the hospital care or more so the lack of it. Aye Dileas Art J.

As a member of the War Amps I consider Cliff to be a friend and his right hand assistant Faye Lavelle a very good friend. I was getting screwed by the Provincial Government on a Hepatitis C claim. After a year of dealing through the proper channels and having my claim refused I contacted Faye...

As a Marching Off Tune how about The Black Bear, even the troops get involved in it.

Tess you are right in a lot of ways but not all WWII Veterans were treated with courtesy by DVA employees. I remember a chap from the 48th who phoned me as he was going up for a reboard. He asked what should I tell them? I replied that the first thing they are going to ask you is "how did you...

Stan is a good man, I have read his book and I really felt better. I thought I was the only one who made all the stupid mistakes he mentions in his book.

Tommy Guns are mentioned as being in use with the Canadian Army as early as May 1940 during the "Foray to France", " It was obvious an appeal to his patriotism would be a waste of                 breath. So the 48th provided "persuaders"-money and alcohol, in                 the hands of Capt...

It depends on the the situation, if you are attacking the figures seem about right. If you are defending the situation changes and you have access to much more ammunition. We had metal boxes holding 12 Bren mags when in a   defensive posture. In Korea in one particular situation I had two men...

BCF, what follows is a rough draft of the next page of my web site: Journey to Battle When the assault ships left the Clyde, they moved the over near the coast of Ireland, where the fast Assault Convoy was forming up. Meanwhile, the Slow Assault convoy which had left about a week before...

Try this website. The 3rd Antitak Regiment is mentioned briefly and there are some names; http://collections.civilisations.ca/warclip/objects/common/webmedia.php?irn=5010508

Interesting, I had my medals stolen from my home and filed a Police report. When applying for replacements I included a copy of the Police report and the replacements arrived from VAC in two months. The one from the GGs Office took about three months and cost me $20.00. They came on little...

Just off the top of my head I really can't help you. The crux of your problem seems to be whether your husband was there. Maybe if we knew his unit it might help. I'm not sure if Part II Orders were still in effect at that time or not but normally you cannot just leave your unit without some...

It is difficult to reconcile today's Army and DVA to that which existed after WW II and Korea. At that time we still had large Veterans hospitals. Sunnybrook in North York had one block, "D", dedicated to what were refered to as sycho cases. PSTD was more or less described as Shell Shock. The...

Tess you and I have spoke about this before, don't let the BASTARDS grind you down. I'll get back to you. Aye Dileas

Tess tell me it isn't so. I have taken the odd guy behind the barracks and talked to him but have not had to resort to physical violence. I was at an NCO School in Korea, I had allready been through two of them in Canada, but this school was run by a bunch of clowns. I believe I lasted all of...
