Larry Gladney, Ardentinny 1940.
We understand that Larry Gladney of Clarenville, Canada was part of the "Newfoundland Overseas Forestry Unit" who served at Ardentinny between 1939 and 1945. We would welcome more information on this group. Sadly, Larry passed away recently. With thanks to Cliff Pike for his permission to re-publish these photographs.
