"The 29th Battery remained with the 11th Army Field Regiment throughout the campaigns in Sicily, Italy and Northwest Europe, where they claim to have been the first Regiment of the 1st Canadian Corps from Italy to be in action on German soil." - T. Brent, technopeasant from Bookmarklet

After a sketchy period in the 1920s and 1930s, when he worked undercover among Canada's first narcotics agents, my maternal grandfather Charles Roy Tilley served with the Royal Canadian Artillery in WWII. He saw action in Italy and Germany. He survived, marrying a young British girl -- my Nana Doreen Gunn Tilley -- and returned to Canada. He died, though, while I was still an infant. - T.

We have his War Records: there are months and months of records that have been blacked out. We know he was in Scotland during that time, and that this was shortly after the Army found out he'd worked undercover. To this day, the Canadian Government will tell us nothing of his actions during that time. - T. Brent, technopeasant
