Hi Doreen & John
Thank you for the information about My Grandfather Henry Drakeley who was
from England. I am still trying to find out what happened to him during
World War One. I know he traveled to Canada from England and married my
grandmother Alice Dobbs in Winnipeg some time before 1916. My father was
born in Winnipeg in 1917. My father had told me that his father had gone
back to England during the war to join the British army. He also told my
that he had been told by his mother that his father had been killed in
action somewhere in Belgium or France in 1918. Note (I was also born in
Winnipeg in 1936) My father Henry Drakeley was in the Canadian Air Force
during World War Two and was a tail gunner in Lancaster bombers.
Thanks for your Help
Lorne
