Seeking information as to the associates and activity of Canadian WW !! war veteran Austin Otho "Slim" Irwin (b. 1917) while in the UK in late 1941 through 1942. Aus was approx. 6 foot 6 in height and was associated with the Cameron Highlanders. Following garrison duty in Iceland, Austin is believed to have spent a year plus in England prior to Dieppe. At some point, either pre or post Dieppe, I believe he worked on the Merlin engine as a casual mechanic with ROLLS ROYCE while on leave to supplement his salary.
