Canadians on
SEAC Liberator squadrons- the RCAF photos
Over 7,000 members of the RCAF served with RAF units in SEAC. RCAF
photographers captured some of them on film.
This is a list of the photographs
which were held by DND in Ottawa, but have now been transferred to the National Archives.
Some of these have appeared in print, most
recently in the book "Metal Canvas", by S. Fochuk.

History of early S.D. Operations in SEAC
There were also those who served at the "Wing" level, rather than on a specific squadron.
Sid Bullock was a W/Op who served on 185 Wing.
Courtesy of his nephew, here is a brief diary of his time in India, as well as some photographs from his "training days".
