Does anybody know of a chap who served in the Royal Engineers, during which he saw service in Korea, then settled in Canada and played a big part in raising the Korean Veterans Association in (I think Vancouver). A great bloke who entered university for a degree in history at the age of 61.

A great family if it comes to that, as hgis wife received a decoration for Services to Canada (Sorry I can't be more specific - I don't remember the details)

At one time in our lives our paths crossed, and for a long time I delighted in the great wit of his letters to me in when I was in Zimbabwe, but sadly we lost contact. If any of this sounds familiar then please contact me.

Thanks,

John
