Subject: [303rd-Talk] Veteran pension help


>I am writing to ask for a little assistance for a British POW. I know
> that some of you on this list have had dealings with various branches of
> the Veterans Administration. If any of you have any knowledge of any
> pensions available to British or Canadian citizens who were POWs, could
> you email me please? I am the son of an American veteran, and a Canadian
> citizen, so all of the help and dealings I did for my father were quite
> easy, as both of these governments have fairly easy processes to apply
> for and receive benefits.
> The man I am dealing with, is a British landed immigrant in Canada. He
> was a POW for over two years in northern Germany, after being shot down
> in a Lancaster over continental Europe. I will furnish more detail to
> those who can help.
