He was in the UK at the end of the war for sure, his service finished in NW Europe. He was certainly wounded before that maybe in Italy, The situation regarding my link to him is not straight forward and certainly I have never met him. His name was Alwyn James Roy Dunsford. His wife’s name was Edith and I understand they or she lived in Dundas Street Toronto. They certainly had a son who I believe was named Norman. Whilst still married to Edith he met my mother in England and they married on the understanding that he had divorced Edith. The result of that marriage produced myself and my sister. It was discovered that he in fact had not divorced (several attempts were made). Bearing in mind it was a different world then, the marriage was dissolved and he returned to Canada. . It is hard to tie down when he went back to Canada but I do know that he initially went back to get demobbed !! He came back to England in February 1946 but I cannot find out when he went back for demobbing, I do know that he was trying to get divorced and that travel was restricted back to England at that time so I suppose it could have been several months that he was in Canada. His daughter (My sister) was born on 28th January 1946 and she was only a few weeks old when Al arrived back in the UK. I do know that he joined the Canadian Police when he eventually went back to Canada after I was born April 15th 1947. I think it may even have been the Mounted Police but that has not been verified.
