My great grandfather, Willis "Wink" Archibald was part of a tank corps in WWII out of Saskatchewan, Canada. He served in France, Britain, Germany, Holland, Belgium, and Italy. I'm big on WWII history and genealogy, so I mailed the Canadian govt. and received a full package of his military records. I was able to understand only bits and pieces, as there is lots of military jargon used and the cursive writing is hard to read. Where, or who, could I go to, to help decipher what exactly my grandfather did during the war? I can upload photos if anyone is interested. Thanks in advance for any input!
EDIT: I've uploaded some of the files. Images found here: http://imgur.com/a/yFce7

You are certainly welcome to post pictures of the documents for help reading them, but you should remove any information you don't feel comfortable sharing with the whole Internet with image-editing software first.
Load the pages in question up to something like imgur and post links here. Luckily i noticed the Canadian Records are better available than records of the US and British units so you should be able to construct the path of your great grandfather.
Now you maybe should specify what you want to know. Your great grand father was part of the 2nd Canadian Division and was luckily not involved in the Dieppe raid than he was transferred too different units including the 14th armoured regiment with which he landed in Italy in 43 and there he spend most of his war service.
With the units you can trace where he was at certain times. Skipping over the screens i don't think he was in France during the fighting but later for unknown reasons.
