Hello,
Not sure if these bio’s are updated but just had some additional information. John Hearn was my Grandfather. He had another son Garry Richard Hearn who also served in the Canadian Armed Forces for 19 years. I believe part of his service was spent as an infantry soldier with the 1st Battalion Princess Patricias Canadian Light Infantry.
Just thought I would post.

Hi Brian, I am John’s niece and sent what info I had to museum@qormuseum.org They also added what they could find. I didn’t have anything on Garry but if you could email info you have for any of them, I think it would be a great tribute. 🙂

Hi Deborah. Sorry I haven’t gotten back to your post. I don’t check this email often. I’m not sure what other information you are looking for. I know my Grandfather had written a bit of a biography of his life before he died. I don’t have a copy but I’m sure one of my aunts or uncles would. Not sure if this post will find you but I don’t know how else to get in touch.
Regards,
Brian
