How many war patrols was your father on? Can I ask how he got wounded?

Hi Panther!

My father does not remeber, but I beleive it was 8 or 9. He lose his right index finger when they shut a trop door on it. They had to remove the finger it was badly mangled.

Hi Dan

Did your fathers boat have a doctor on board? I know some Doctors went out with the boats?

Hello!

No, not really , they did what they could and he was sent home on a flying boat. There in France they removed the finger. The scare is large to this day.

Regards,
