chrisharley9 Posted 27 December , 2008 Share Posted 27 December , 2008 An odd one is this lad - cant find him on the UK GRO indexes - is he a Canadian - or is he a Kiwi training with the Canadians. Probably died in France or Flanders - so where do I look for his DC ref taking into account the above information Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisharley9 Posted 21 January , 2009 Author Share Posted 21 January , 2009 Well the surprising thing about this research is sometimes what you find out The reply I received today from the Canadian archives is that he was decleared a deserter on the 17th Nov 1915 not being pardoned until the general amensty of 12th Dec 1919 Therefore no entitlement to a war grave Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
