Hello all, :) I am trying to help a friend out regarding this chap :
Romeo Guy Labrosse was born in 1927 and was a member of the 1st Canadian parachute battalion from 1944 until 1946, I was wondering if anyone could find a positive death for him, I only have a UK sub to Ancestry and FindMyPast so am unable to clarify a death for him which is possibly in 1999, any information would as always be very gratefully appreciated.
Frank.

He was living in Brandon Manitoba so I'll assume he retired to Florida.

Hi dbree :) , thank you so much for that, it's great.
The search for Romeo is connected with his time in the Canadian Airborne Division, I just keep searching to try to find a picture of him but I fear that is an impossible task.
Once again my sincere thanks and best regards, the information is wonderful.

Thank you sir. This rootschat is tough to use on my iPhone. Although from my desktop it’s not bad at all. I have pictures of Romeo pretty much from the first time him and my grandmother married, pics of him in the Aleutians when starting work on the EWS, and pictures of him being a loving grandfather with me perched up on his arms. I loved that man. I myself am eager to learn more about him.

Hello, great to hear from you again, I emailed my friend (He lives in the Netherlands) and told him of your reply, he is absolutely thrilled to bits to learn of it, he researched the men of the Canadian Airborne Division in which your Grandfather served and is elated that you have photographs of him, he also has a copy of his military service record and would send you a copy I am sure if you wanted him to.
