Thank you Laurence. Cheers Carrie

Sorry guys I am no relation to Farley Mowat. If anyone is interested I have the story of Farley's father Angus Mowat who is often sometimes confused with MY Herbert Angus Mowat. Growing up as a child it was always said that all the Mowat's were related to one another at some point way back when. I have traced my family back to 1734 in Scotland, and unless there is another brother of MY John Mowat somewhere, then thats it for me. I'll be sure to find out when I am in Europe in two years! I am planning on making a stop at the british and scottish archives to see what I can dig up. I am h

That would be his father Maxwell Millidge Mowat Need I say more?

WOW Darrell what's with all the beer? You think that's all us Canucks do it drink beer? LOL tsk tsk tsk Even though you are completely correct! HAHAHA You are more than welcome to look at these photo's all you like. I have been offered as much as $10,000 for this Military Cross, but I will not part with it! I would perhaps supply you with a reasonable hand drawn facsimilie. Thanks for all your comments and stuff Cheers Carrie PS i think its only fitting that I add a photo of the man who received all these honors. I forgot earlier

Thanks again Rick....It was very hard to find Information about Canadians that fought in Russia. And believe me it was no easy feat getting those medals. I am currently in the process of getting the victory Medal and the British War Medal as well. Once I have those I will post them!

Thank you for your warm welcome and your wishes of luck Rick!

Oliver Alexander Mowat's Death Plaque This was sent to the families of those killed in the War

And the back of the Cross

Alright, I know my collection is not half as big as some of yours. I see a lot of German memorabilia on here, and thought that Canada needed to be heard from. I know my stuff is not half as impressive as most of yours is...but they are special to me as they are part of my family history.

Hi there I am new to this site, and was sent here by a friend. He told me that I might be able (with your help of course) dig up some more information on my Great Uncle. He was Canadian and joined the RFC during WW1. I am not going to type out the whole thing, you can read his story here. http://members.shaw.ca/Car_r6/Page3.htm I was hoping that maybe someone, somewhere, had access to any sort of papers, or otherwise with his name on it. I was sent an email today by someone who read my page, and has a photo of a plane on a roof of the hangar. He tells me his grandfather was in the same u
