  • Inscription– Unfortunately, most of his Attestation Paper is indistinct. He enlisted on 6th March 1916 at Weyburn, Sask., and gave his age as 43. However, when his death was registered his age was stated as 50 which means, if correct, that he was at least five years older than he said he was when he enlisted!
