Pte. James Neil "Red" McQuarrie
Canadian Expeditionary Force
from:Oak Lake, Manitoba
My Dad, James Neil McQuarrie was the third Canadian on the Beach at Normandy. My Auntie recently gave me a container with some of Dad's things in it that Gramma saved. I came across a sketch that Dad had done in 1944 while imprisoned in Staleg XIII B. A self portrait with a poem. It is very touching. Hard to read, when its your Dad and all. He is 91 years old and living in a retirement home here.
