Sorry:
Did I miss something ( Where did you find out about the other 25 North Shore's)?
Was that on my papers and I missed it! DO you have a Name lists?

Jim,

I have copies of some of the documentation preserved in the Regina War Diary on all men coming to and leaving the battalion. The information is much like you see for Rfn Long, just at the group level rather than the individual. Here's the entry I have:

As indicated earlier, all those with a G prefix on their regimental number enlisted in New Brunswick in Military District 7. I believe Mark mistakenly included PEI in MD 7, think they are MD 6 with Nova Scotia.
