Introduction:
I was able to string together thirteen columns for my father's hometown paper (The Norwich Gazette) about his WWII experiences before it was closed. I am offering them here in a series of posts that include videos in the 5 - 6 minute range.
I will attempt to write a 14th column as well, then a 15th, and so on, up to at least #24, using some of the photographs and historic details I have found that relate to not only my father but other Canadians in Combined Ops, men who volunteered "for the unknown in 1941."
Presenting VIDEO 2:

More information about training on landing crafts can be found by visiting the A - Z Directory, then go to such headings as Photographs: Camps, Landing Crafts (Parts 1 - 15) and 'Training for Combined Operations' and more.
