My great uncle was posted here during his training. He ultimately made it to the Pathfinders and survived the war but no family records were kept and he apparently said little about the war. My mother remembers the family going to Sea Island to see her uncle during his training. It was cold and and she was very young. Since the school was moved to Boundary Bay Jan 1942, my assumption is that this must have been the winter months of 1940/1941, possibly late 1941. Are there any ORBs that I would be able to access to see if I can find his name listed? Any other records possibly?
Thanks for any assistance you are able to provide.
Thank you.
