Luc,

Your F/O C.E. Brown was also RCAF. Service number was J41499.

I don't know what the "C.E." stood for as he was known as Peter and came from Toronto.

Dave,

Thanks for the additional info.

Tried to find more details in the Canada Gazette, but I always get an error message when I try to use their website. I'll try again in a few days.

Best regards

Luc
