Hello,
I have just begun researching the family of ROBERT (BOB) SMITH, and would very much appreciate any assistance:
Robert had a brother named James (Jim) SMITH. Both born between 1915 and 1930.
Bob and Jim were from the Toronto ON area. During WWII, they trained in Nanaimo BC. I don't know when they arrived in Nanaimo, but know they were there as late as 1942.
During their time in Nanaimo (and perhaps prior to that, in Toronto,) Bob and Jim had friends named 'Lucky', 'Al' (a Native Indian, from Ontario), 'Slim', and 'Seely' (HMCS Comox), to name a few.
I don't know what regiment Bob was with, but it may have been the Highlanders. If so, it was possibly The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada (Princess Louise's).
I have stories and momentos of Bob and his brother Jim, and would love to share.
I am looking to locate Bob or Jim Smith, their descendants, or perhaps their friends.
I would be grateful also if anyone has any ideas or some advice on where I should begin.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Lewis
