Regarding P/O Ivatts previous operational history I am afraid I do not have any further information,the data I have given is of course held,along with all his data at the Public Records Office at Kew(which is a long way from Canada!). Best wishes in your research.

You were enquiring for information about Sgt Ivatts, please see the most recent postings on RootsChat.Com
