Left to right...Ball, Bader,McKnight.

McNight's from Calgary, Alberta. Another Canadian with them was Percy Turner, my personal Can. WW2 hero. You gotta read this dudes story, he had a little part in everything, check it out.

Read the part about the French request to leave the Hurri's in France, and the British response,lol. Great story.(the sad part was leaving the liquer tent behind, hehe).
I used to be a fatalist,
but that part of me died.
