Chuck Watson was born in 1919, the son of Guy and Blanche Watson who, at the time, had just arrived after Guy returned from his service in WWI. In Indian Head, he was a bookkeeper and involved in real estate. Chuck returned from overseas service and married Ruth Hanson of Saskatoon and then they moved to Ottawa where he worked at army headquarters until his retirement. Chuck Watson's sister was Betty Ashmore of Indian Head (see Indian Head History Book pp 726-727).
The book is an engaging, chronological telling of Chuck Watson's service during WWII. It does not have a lot of details such as dates, places and people but has many interesting anecdotes.
