I was kinda thinking you might be in spud island.

Dad was finally taken off the reserve list in 1975.

I have to get his war records, but I have to wait until this coming winter.

Unless you have the person written permission to access the archives, then you have to wait until they are dead for 20 years. Still need DoB, SIN# and service number. I got all that, I just need to wait.

My Grandads info is coming from Britain soon.

He was 20 when that pic was taken. Him and me looked exactly the same in the same uniform. He was 1942, I was 1964.
