I am hoping someone out there may be able to help me in my quest to find out some information on my father. Through the help of a PPCLI veteran I have been able to find out that the patch worn on my fathers beret is from the R.C.H.A. I am hoping that someone out there might remember a Joseph F White (Earl)He was from Cape Breton Nova Scotia. I am trying to find out exactly what unit he served with and any other information that will allow me to get his service records released. Any help would be greatly appreciated. To all Kindest Regards

Comments: I guess i have to re-enter the Guestbook. I guess it has been lost..I was in Korea 52-53 with The 1st Field ROYAL CANADIAN HORSE ARTILLERY..I was with AIR-OP,And served on FOO'S, AND OP'S..I was on the hook,traingle,355,45,pork chop,etc. I flew infra-red over Chicong and calling down fire,and scaning roads when the push was on. Thats when the Gloster Reg was over run and almost wiped out. So we had to fly night infra-red in order to call down fire know as a MIKE TARGET. To my knowledge there was never a YOKE called down in my tour..Your's very truly, Fred Norton 1 RCHA (RET)..Victoria,BC,Canada......
