| Hoping to get in contact with anyone who served with my grandfather Thomas Neal Quinn from Sarnia, Ontario who served in the RCNR during WW2. I know that he had been in several naval bases on the East coast and in Grennock,Scotland. One of the ships that he served on was LCI L 299 on Dday. Would be great to know if anyone has any pictures or stories involving him to pass on to my children. | |
