RCAF Document & Medal Grouping – Cpl. G.S. Smith

WW2 Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) document & medal Grouping that belonged to Corporal G.S. Smith from Winnipeg, he served with the ‘126 Wing’ according some of the documents. We haven’t done any research to this Corporal. The grouping consists of lots of paperwork, three photos including one group photo with Corporal Smith and his four medals boxed: 1939-1945 Star – C.V.S.M – France & Germany Star – War Medal  – Defence Medal and CVSM overseas bar. A very interesting grouping that deserves to be researched.

“The success of No 126 Wing began before the D-Day landings and through operations at Falaise Gap, Operation Market Garden, the winter offensive in the Ardennes, and crossing the Rhine into Germany. Donald Nijboer examines the wing’s operations chapter by chapter, demonstrating how the five squadrons of Spitfires of No 126 Wing were self-sufficient in everything they did and how, after the Normandy landings, the ground forces could not move without this valuable support.”
