Woodburn S. Thomson
Toronto Daily Star, June 1 1933
Woodburn S. Thomson served on a number of Canadian Navy ships during the Second World War, rising to the rank of Lieutenant. He eventually moved to the town of Ayr in the county of Waterloo, passing away there in 1989.
I found an obituary for his wife, who passed away in 2005. She is buried next to him in Ayr. There's also an article written by his son, "Finding the names of the men who saved my father's life in the war", that appeared in the Toronto Globe and Mail in 2023; it's behind a paywall.
