His tour included Northern Scotland, England, France, where he landed at Juno Beach on D-Day and Holland, where he participated in the Liberation of Holland. He was a proud Canadian and enjoyed participating in regular legion activities. In 1945 he married Doris (nee MacAvoy) in England, they returned to Canada, and they went on to have five children.
