Comments by David Walker - The Detachment was initially located on the 2nd floor in a hangar at RCAF Station Edmonton. We subsequently moved to the basement in a office building on Jasper Ave. We had no filter centre. I was stationed there early in 1955 and remained until September 1956 when I was transferred to Tofino, BC in the place of Cpl John Shaw. I remember the following personnel at the GObC unit:
F/L Ken Pulham – Detachment Commander |
F/O Norm Dick - Ops Officer |
F/O Pat Ribbons - Training Officer |
F/O Al Grant - Taining Officer |
Sgt Jack Ashcroft - NCO i/c |
Cpl John Shaw - Training |
Cpl Dave Walker - Training |
Mrs Grace New - Secretary |
LAC Gord Stokes - arrived summer 1955 |
LAC Bill Beaton - arrived summer 1955 |
