Canada to Britain - The Journey
Once Ken's training was complete, he'd gained his wings and had been promoted to Sergeant, he and his fellow course graduates set out on the railway again heading east. Their destination was "Y" Depot, Halifax, Nova Scotia, where they would board a troopship to England.

The following photos show the journey which obviously took several days and had some interesting stops. This is the same journey many thousands of other RNZAF airmen made, and so these photos, though personal to Ken Law's own experience, will also be representative of many other young Kiwis who travelled the same path on their way to the European theatre of war.

All of the photos are from the Ken Law collection, and are here by kind permission of Ken's daughter Pam O'Connor. They are copyright of the Law family.

Niagara Falls and Toronto
Ken and friends visited Nigara Falls and it's surrounding areas. They obviously took a boat ride around the canals and lake area.
