He trained on American weapons, transferred to the Royal Canadian Regt. and was on a draft for Vancouver. The second A-Bomb had dropped and his draft was cancelled. He was then shipped to Brockville where he volunteered as a clerk at the Quartermaster Store. He then trained men for permanent force as a Captain.
