I’m looking for any kind of information on my grandfather, whose name was Francis Paul Lesage. He passed away back in 2004 and I’m looking for as much information as I can on him. My mother just recently died last year.(his daughter Deborah Patricia Anne Lesage) and I am wanting to know more information on my grandfather’s job in the military. I would be delighted to hear what you have to say.
Was there as a reservist with 418 squadron in the mid sixties
