He's home on leave January 1943 with one-year old first child, my big sister, and he's in uniform. I wonder if he's arrived home recently or is on his way back soon? Luckily Mom dated the photo on the back.
Dad never went overseas, and by the end of the war, he ended up trained to work on the new RADAR back East in Nova Scotia. RADAR stands for "RAdio Detection And Ranging", and is now used as a noun: radar.
Their dog, Buddy, is partly behind him, as both Dad and Leita face the camera - I'm sure Mom is taking the photo.
And do you see behind them? That horse-drawn wagon? Yes, that's how milk as well as ice was delivered to homes. I think horse-drawn delivery stopped around 1948, in Vancouver BC.
Honour to all the veterans, from all countries, whatever their work, wherever they served.
