I ask because I am still trying to trace the movements of Sgt C T F Baldwin up until june 14 1941 when he was shot down,and I have a cousin who remembers her father taking her as a small child to Canada to see his nephew who was in Canada at the time,he was Conrads uncle who had emigrated some years earlier to Canada and then America,she remembers the meeting as being at some sort of military establishment and hiding behind her father being frightened of this man in a uniform,now you have mentioned Manitoba I can make some more enquires so thank you.
