An interesting thread here has ground to a halt. Pals from Oz and UK have seemingly exhausted all obvious research avenues. Would some Canadian Pals now like to take a look and see if Canadian archives can shed some more light?

Jim: After much searching, I have only found this with Veterans Affairs Canada. Will keep looking.

Some extraordinary families

Mrs. Wood watched as eleven of her twelve sons left to serve in the First World War. Only two sons came back without any injuries. Known as Winnipeg's War Mother, Mrs. Wood received King George V's Silver Jubilee Medal (1935).

As Grant says (and this was my intention :) ), it would be helpful for any responses to this post to be posted on the original thread (link in post #1). Thanks for your input, Doris and Marika.
