Reg has mentioned the Kites and tells of them stealing food from his plate as he walked across open ground. What is your connection to WWII Peter? My father in law is currently living on Salt Spring Island. Where are you in BC?

I am currently sitting across from my father-in-law Reginald Young (now aged 95) who was attached to the 4th Indian division in early 1940. He joined them along with several hundred troops in Mombassa and they set off through Kenya towards Ethiopia He was in charge of a light A detachment repair unit that followed along behind the column repairing vehicles etc. as they went. If anyone knows where I could find any information supporting this, it would be greatly appreciated. We are currently working on a memoir of his time in India and Africa between 1939 and 1944.
