Wow! Thanks Mark.

Do you mean "Royal Winnipeg Rifles" (Little Black Devils)??? I love the IDEA of he and Uncle Ed being Little Black Devils

As mentioned in the other thread, Grandpa was also aged 34 when he signed up. Family history that side tells me he was very UNlikely shirking ... as I learn more, I learn my Uncles (Grandpa Joe's kids) all went overseas in WW2, which means they volunteered

If Grandpa didn't join on til March 13, 1917. then was shipped out in MAY 1917 as reinforcement, wow ... where/when was the training before being thrown to the wolves??????????? (is this a stupid question?)
