MESSAGES

HMCS CANSO

FRED OSMOND.. I am wondering if anyone out there served with my Grandfather, Fred Osmond, on the minesweeper HMCS Canso in WW2.  He has begun to talk about his days at sea, and I think it would make him incredibly happy to hear from anyone who knew him.  Please contact me at sfedora@yahoo.com.  Thank you so much!
