F/Lt. James Albert Mills
Royal Canadian Air Force 419 Sqd.
from:Toronto, Ontario
My father, Al Mills was shot down over the Ruhr Valley on the 13th of June 1943 and spent the rest of the war in a German POW camp. He suffered greatly as did we this family of 8.
After the war he suffered from what the doctors termed anxiety neurosis. Today they call it PTSD.
If only the young generation of today 2015 knew the degree of this honor and sacrifice it would be a different world. His name was James Albert Mills from Toronto, Ontario.
