Douglas Harold Morton Jacques
Royal Canadian Air Force 214 Squadron
from:Canada
(d.15th April 1942)
My mother died last month & in her possesions was a silver name tag inscribed "Wings June 21st 1941 Jarvis, Ont.", on the other side "Doug H M Jaques WAG RCAF". My mother had told me of a boyfriend she had met while in the WRAFS who had died in action in April 1942. I suspect this was a serious relationship as newspapers & magazines from this date were also in mother's things. Mother was shortly afterwards invalided out of the WRAFs. She married an English captain in 1946 but kept these mementos for 71 years.
