Edgar Scott (1897-1918), and Edwin Franklin Haslam (1897-1918).
Neil McKinnon and Cecil Scott were 1st cousins.
In addition, I know of three relatives who served for the U.S. forces in
the First World War.
Two were killed, being, Carl Cole (1891-1918) and Manley Marriott (1896-

I should like to know more about the service record of the 2nd Canadian

a Lieutenant in this regiment. We have his ID bracelet and a lapel badge
which is a maple leaf with "Overseas Bn Calgary" on it and a 50 in the
middle - we are not sure if this might be a 50th anniversary year or a
Bn no.
If anyone can tell me more about either the badge or the regiment's
service history, please e-mail me!

My story: I have a Soldier's note book from WWI it was issued to an
American who served in WWI in the 72nd Batt Can Infantry. He was Private
David Fountain of Skowhegan, Maine b. 2 Feb 1881 d. 26 Jan 1946. Ser #
1030744. I have no use for this book since this person is not a direct
relative.
Do you have an address I could send this little book to ? It has
handwritten notes on how to operate a machine gun and a rather
interesting diary from November 11, 1918 to his discharge and arrival
back home in Skowhegan, Maine.

runner's notes, etc. I have been able to find that he was with the
following:
Northumberland Fusilers
26th Battalion
34th Division, 3rd Army
Fought in the Battle of the Scarpe
Arras Offensive
Wounded at Vimy Ridge April 29, 1917
Siver War Badge # B45828 (I have it)
Military Cross, Aras April 1917 (I have it)
Invalided June 1917
and so now I am trying to find out more about the events of the Battle.
I would be pleased to scan many of the documents (I will do this to
preserve them) and provide copies so that they can be distributed to
those that are interested.

Comments: What program do I need to have on my computer to
be able to see the uniforms, equipment, and maps?
My grandfather, Charles James Lee was originally from St. Jacques, Newf.
but had been living in & enlisted from Southern Sask. He fought in the
10th Battalian C.E.F. His military records state that he arrived in
France 8/29/1915. He served as a Scout from 9/2/1916 to 1918. He was
wounded multiple times--"lightly gassed", "buried several times" "over
the top 9 or 10 times" and finally "blown up in an observation post
1/23/1918." He was awarded the Military Medal twice and then something
that his daughters thought was called a "Rosette" but may have been a
"Gazette." He rarely spoke of his wartime experiences. His daughters
and granddaughters (including me) would like to know more about what that
part of his life was like. Where he went; what battles; what life was
like "over there" etc. We would like help reading abbreviations we
cannot read in his military records--for example, can any one tell me
what DAH means in a WWI medical record (Disability Group A)? What are
some of these diagnoses (eg Enteralgia?)
Some of your links appear to be broken. I was especially interested in
the Medals and Awards link, but it is not operating. Can you give me
another reference to it? Many thanks for your help. If you are
interested, I will try to give you a bio of my grandfather once I get the
information I seek.

doing some simple reseach on my Grandfather, Richard Georgr Chamberlain.
He emigrated from England to Canada before the war, but volunteered in
October 1914 and enlisted in the 27th Battalion. His number was 71466. He
survived the war, but then chose to remain in England from then on. I'm
trying to find more detail on the actions of the 27th Battallion during
1915-1918 and would welcome any guidance.

Comments: Great-grandson of PTE Thomas Evans CARR, native
of Liverpool, England. Arrived in America in 1894. When war broke out in
Europe he wanted to go fight. The Americans would not take him as he was
to old. Determined to, "Go fight the Kaiser", as the family story is
told, he dyed his grey hair and mustache then headed north across the
border. He lied to the Canadian Army Recruiter about his age telling them
he was 40, when he really was closer to 60. He was assigned to a support
battalion where he could use his brick masonry skills. Alas after arrival
in France fatigue caught up with him. He was shipped back to Montreal for
discharge just two weeks before the Armistace. He would later die in the
1930s living in New Jersey.
As a veteran my self, of the American Navy< I am very proud of him for
his courage and belief that he "had to go".
