Often when I have written a story on an individual or event for the RCMP Vets I talk of the connecting dots…how one story leads to another. Sometimes it takes a few years for the dots to connect. Back in 2013 I did a story for the Vancouver Division web site on an unusual clasp on a RCMP LSM medal located in the Seaforth Highlanders Museum in Vancouver….see link below for the story.
Ric Hall’s: Mystery of Maple Leaf Clasp
This week-end, nine years later, I received a message from the granddaughter of one of the names mentioned in my story, Staff Sergeant Major Frank Trehearne, Reg # 16570. At the time I could not locate a photograph of S/S/M Trehearne. His granddaughter found my story on-line and sent me a photo of her grandfather.
Love those connecting dots!
