Thanks for that, Paul... that's some of what I was going to pass over.
Sarah, have you the gentleman's service number (if applicable), rank and regiment? These will help. I
have already established he was
not one of the CANLOAN officers, so that narrows it down a bit.
Once we have a bit more on him, you can also place an ad in
Legion Magazine to see if there may be someone out there who served with him and has any recollections; it's a bit thin, but always possible.
His service records, however, are the key to all this. It will track every aspect of his military career from induction to demobbing.
