Group photo
My Uncle George Philip Craven and his fiance in Toronto. Picture was taken shortly before he was shipped out to Sicily, where he was killed in action. Although I do not know the name of the young lady, I certainly would like to. I am sure that her heart, like so many others, was broken in 1943. I wish I could have known my Uncle George as I have been told that he was an extraordinary person. Lest We Forget.... -
