Came across an unusual entry in the 11th (Reserve) Anti-Aircraft Regiment RCA Routine Orders from 22 February 1945. Under L.H.Q. Training Pay they have the names of those reservists that paraded during the previous month. The unusual entry was for one soldier:
K. 417659 Williams, H.D. MC    18 Days  A/L/Bdr
It's not often that you find an Acting Lance Bombardier with a Military Cross!

Skimming through the 1st Anti-Tank Regiment RCA war diaries from 26 Aug 1944 I found the following entries rather interesting:
1. Consider all sources of water as contaminated!
2. Do not drink the local milk! 
3. We're switching from imported beer to local beer!

Major James Hector Sutherland, a former member of the 5th Medium Battery, 15th Brigade Canadian Artillery from 1928 and a Vancouver City Policeman from 1930 is buried at the Montecchio British Empire cemetery. in Italy. He rose through the ranks to Battery Sergeant Major before commissioning as he enrolled in the Canadian Active Service Force. He was killed in action on 28 August 1944 and the following excerpts from the 3rd Anti-Tank Regiment RCA War Diaries provide a bit of insight into the days after his death.
This information came from a recently discovered site heritage.canadiana.ca which has a large collection of World War II War Diaries. Unfortunately, I could not find an index. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could point that out for me. If it doesn't exist, I could sure use a volunteer to help me finish off the attached index....

Captain Alan Ronald Townsley has been added to our list of fallen. Captain Townsley enrolled in the 58th Heavy Battery as a Gunner and spent some time with the 85th Battery on Yorke Island.
