Everyone has a story to be told, memories and photos should not be allowed to fade.
My father was a member of the 419 Moose squadron and like many servicemen he never spoke about his
experience while overseas. It left me, as it may have left you wondering what our fathers, uncles or grandfathers had experienced during
during those times. The squadron's story contains many examples of heroism and valour that have been mostly forgotten. But all
are more intense and real then any fictional novel. For these were real men in true live and death situations.
In his later years my father collected photos and historical bits of the squadron from the many members he kept in touch with
and added these to those he had accumulated during his service years. His idea was to gather the stories of those who
served with 419 squadron and to preserve the legacy of those individuals who became the "Moose" squadron.
