Sigmn. Leo J. Cochrane
Canadian Army Royal Canadian Corps of Signals
from:West St., Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada
(d.16th Nov 1944)
Uncle Leo Cochrane was my Mother's older brother, my Mother told us what a wonderful person he was. With the money he got overseas, he would send money home, and buy my Mom, a doll house and presents. My Mother said she carried her brother Leo's letters in her pocket to keep him close to her. She was so upset when the letters fell out of her pocket, and she was even more heart broken when her brother died on the 16th of November 1944.
Mom told us that my Grandmother had died in 1938 when my Mother was 5 years old. And my Grandfather would sit every night listening to news stories of the War update for the day. My mother's 2 other brothers also served in WWII, My Uncle Frank and my Uncle Mike. I don't know anymore, but I would be so grateful if anyone that knew my Uncle Leo, would share any information with us.
