I have looked all up and down the internet for info on my grandfather and have come up with nothing time and time again so I am here wondering if I can get directions on where to look or even if there are Any Winnipeg based Queens Own Cameron Highlanders who post here.
My name is Dawn Greenwood I come from a vast military family which includes before I was born.Mother served in reg force and my father was a jumper and a St.Jean instructor. Dad was in 2nd Battallion Princess Patrica's Canadian Light Infantry which took him on tours of duty in Cypress twice and almost into the Gulf War. Uncle was also a Patrica with service in Egypt. Brother was in the Navy now going into Infantry and little brother just graduated and is currently in Wainright at battle school with possibility of deployment either to 2nd of 3rd Batallion P.P.C.L.I. all of the kids were in cadets as well even myself who was 2701 Winnipeg based P.P.C.L.I. However these people I know..who I need info on is my grandfather Kenneth Affleck. He served in both English and CCanadianmilitary batallions. In the Winnipeg Rifles he made rank of CSM and in the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders he attained rank of RSM and did tours including Korea, he died in 1979 and is buried in the military section of Brookside here in Winnipeg Manitoba.
I'd really appreciate being pointed in the right direction..I'd like to look up on him because he died before I was born and wish to make a site dedicating his honour for my mother and the rest of my military family.
Thank You.
