Burial/memorial information
Son of John and Marion Inglis Raeside of Ayrshire, Scotland. He had two brothers, William and John, and a sister, Jean. After apprenticing as a carpenter, he emigrated to Canada in May 1912. He settled in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and joined the 105th Regiment (later The Saskatoon Fusiliers) of the Canadian Militia soon after arriving. He enlisted in the regular Canadian Army on 26 October 1914 in the newly formed 28th (Northwest) Battalion a little over two months after the outbreak of World War I. While wintering with the Battalion in Winnipeg, he was
transferred to its Machine Gun Section. The Battalion arrived in England as part of the Sixth Infantry Brigade, Second Division, Canadian Expeditionary Force in June 1915, and conducted training near Dover for the remainder of the summer. They later crossed to France and entered the trenches at the front line near Kemmel, in Belgium on 25 September. On 17 October 1915 the gun crew to which he belonged came under fire by German artillery. Private Raeside was mortally wounded in the attack and
died shortly afterwards. His remains are interred in the military section
of the Bailleul Cemetery in France. He was 23 years old. His brother, William Raeside, later enlisted in the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry regiment and served in France and Belgium from April 1917 until the end of the war.
