Bussum – Holland 19th August 2019
Hello Jane, I have about finished the family-tree Sulkers in honour of your father and published it on internet a couple of days ago., my best friend ever ! As you may remember your father and I searched for the grave of his aunt Adriana and visited Canadian wargraves. We met in Holland several times, the last time being the moment (august 2003) when finally I found the grave of Adriana in 2003. You may see the tree via the following link:

I would love to come into contact with you and brother Neil as I am planning to visit the grave of father Herm in due time.
Kindest regards,
Roelf Schrik – Bussum – Holland

Remembrance Day 2018 – Leading Stoker Ralph Cummins
Remembrance Day 2018 will remember all the sailors who were aboard HMCS Athabaskan G07 on April 29th, 1944.
These two photos were shared by Paul Sulkers whose father was Herm Sulkers.
Paul had a mission to identify all these sailors. Many were identified since 2009. Everytime someone would write a comment about his or her relative I would go full speed ahead to find more about him.
This was the case of Leading Stoker Ralph Cummins yesterday.
My grandfather was POW on this ship. I am not sure of his position, his name was Ralph Cummins and I am positive he is #9 in the group photo. I can’t tell you how it touches my heart to see these pictures.
