Time Machine – A Request

by

Hi I have recently stumbled upon a postcard a yard sale from 1942 Sept 9th. The post card was sent from J.E. Delaville (R.118015) to N. Ward (R.103830 stationed at No.7 SFTS at Macleod Alta. sent to Cpl N. Ward station at RCAF Yarmouth Nova Scotia.

The post card is a picture of Cameron Falls at Waterton PK Alberta. If you have any info of either of these two for there ancestors I would greatly appreciate it.

It’s very intriguing! Thanks

From the collection of Richard Merrick

Dick’ Merrick was a pilot instructor in the BCATP, most probably in 1942 and 1943. His son is sharing his late father’s photos.

Most of these photos were taken by his father at Fort Macleod (No. 7 SFTS MacLeod). If anyone wishes to use these photos for non commercial use, please give due credit to Dick Merrick.

Dick Merrick is on this photo labeled BCATP # 7SFTS Anson1943.

His son is sharing these photos so possibly someone will recognize these students on these photos. The white flash indicates they are LACs training to be pilots.

Other photos taken. These two are most probably instructors.

 

 

 

Again, please give due credit if you use all these photos for non-commercial purposes. You might also link this post.
