Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

Regretfully, I have no memory of every having met Mr. Douglas Hazelwood, but none-the-less, I wish to extend my condolences on the loss of your loved one. I also served in the Canadian Armed Forces, but in the Royal Canadian Corp of Signals, and did stints in Egypt and the Belgian Congo, under the auspices of the United Nations Emergency Force. I was born in the Steinbach area just 3 days before Douglas, on Jan 27, 1933, and served in Egypt in 1959 and the Congo in 1962. Though I have retired in San Antonio, TX, I do keep in touch with family and friends in Winnipeg and in Western Canada. Perhaps in the near future I will get to meet Douglas beyond the Great Divide and answer Roll Call by the Great Commander. May God bless you all. - Posted by: Gordon Giesbrecht (Comrade in Arms) on: Nov 01, 2014
