Comments: I am Harold's daughter and was wondering if anyone knew or served with my father in Korea. My father passed away and never really liked to talk about the situation over there. I was looking through some pictures from his time in the army and it brought back many memories of him. But I would like to know a little more about his buddies and his time in Korea. I believe he served in the 1st Battalion PPCLI. He may have been a paratrooper.

Comments: My father joined the Royal Canadian Navy in 1949 in Toronto and was in the navy until 1954. During that time he served on the HMCS Nootka HMCA Haida and HMCS Huron. He was a Korean War veteran but did not speak much of it because it brought up alot of bad memories. He spent the last 20 years of his working career with the Department of Veterans Affairs for he felt that veterans in Korea and in general got the wrong end of the stick with the government. When he passed away in 1994 I received his medals which I will treasure always as he did. I would like to find out if there is anyone out there who knew my Dad during his time in the RCN. Thanks.
