So naturally I don't know much about where he served, or even the medals he's won. Something I would like to know, as he is my grandfather afterall.
I started to read about the Battle of the Schedlt as I *think* that's one of the few battles he mentioned to my father.
In today's day and age is it possible to find someone online a listing of soliders from WWII and medals they've won, battles they've fought in?

If you were in Calgary you could research that through the Museum of the Regiments.
They do have an online research guide here

Also Cyndi's list

Those should get you started
