Five turtles sniff the air. They love the smell of French Fries, I think!

Inside the red circle an arrow points toward Fontane Bianche, Beach 44, Sicily.
Dozens of members of the 80th, incl. my father, served in that area for 4 weeks
during July 1943, and made two adjoining caves near the beach their home.

"At Nelson Barracks, Halifax... an enjoyable hour of rope climbing?" Sarcasm??
Aka Wellington Barracks. From Sailor Remember by William Pugsley, RCNVR

The Gateway to Seven Blogs:

My father, Doug Harrison (V8809), holds an anti-broaching line to steady an
English landing craft as US soldiers disembark in North Africa, Nov. 1942
Or, he is the sailor taking a break on ALC 426 (2nd from left)!

1. 1,000 MEN, 1,000 STORIES - My chief interest. My father (either far left, above, or straddling a barrel on LCA 426, left of centre) was a World War II veteran, 1941 - 1945, served in the RCNVR and Combined Operations, for better and for worse.

2. FAINT FOOTSTEPS, WW2 - A growing story about my ongoing search for more information related to my father's World War II adventures.

3. IT STRIKES ME FUNNY - My longest serving blog with more topics to consider than one can shake a stick at.

4. THE WORKSHOP - Everybody needs a workshop, in my humble opinion.

5. THE GREAT CANADIAN COMEBACK - Short reports re my fun and fitness routine, in search of svelteness. I walk, run, lift weights and put things down... on paper.

One of London's well-used walking, running, and cycling routes

6. Stories, Prose and Songs - This blog is largely ignored by me and the world. However, one day you'll hear one of my songs or stories on the radio and you'll say, "I know that guy."

7. Four Mugs and Coffee - This blog was once home to a lively group effort, but now is home to just a few very good ideas. For example, it's home to a brilliant screenplay, Death by Misadventure.

Look in on one blog, then another. Collect the whole set!

The most populars blogs seem to be 1,000 Men, 1,000 Stories (WWII related) and It Strikes Me Funny ('just about everything' related). Gord will always respond to comments from real people in some manner.
