| Visitor Comments: My uncle, Eskil Ullberg was a member and jumped into Germany in March 1945 in Operation Varsity. It is all I know of his service as he would not talk about it much. He died 28 Dec. 2012. If anyone can provide more info on his service, it would be greatly appreciated. He was pre-decesed by his older brother Elden 31 Oct. 2012, a Juno Beach vet with the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa. They are fondly remembered and dearly missed. |

Peter O'Hanley MD |
Visitor Comments: I am one of eight children of Lt John Hubert 'Soc" OHanley. He would not speak of any of his time overseas, beyond "It was terrible" He returned to his native PEI as its sole paediatrician, retiring at age 73. His training took him to Boston, where he was informed he was eligble for the draft (1952). He left Boston that day.He has recently died. His beret and baton remain with us.His spirit continues to lead the way.
I am very grateful for those who have spent the hours to compile and maintain this site. It is a great reminder to us who have so benefitted from the sacrifices of these men, so young, so willing to give to the future. |

Visitor Comments: Hi,
I am doing research on paratroopers from the 6th Airborne Division that were captured and those that evaded and escaped capture in Normandy. I am hoping to speak to veterans of the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion who were taken prisoner or evaded capture. If you have a story or information about men of the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion who were taken prisoner or evaded capture it would be great to hear from you. Mitchell |

| Visitor Comments: I am trying to register on the site forums and have not been able to do so. Could someone from the webstaff write me and help straighten out my login.
My goal at the site is to contact persons with knowledge of PWs captured on D-Day and sent to Rennes Military Hospital. I am writing up a history of the place. |
