Guest gen_wizard Posted 11 April , 2004 Share Posted 11 April , 2004 Hi Pals, This is a question for our Canuck friends. Does anyone know of any surviving veterans from the 43rd or the 75th Battalions? If there are could you give me their names please?

mordac Posted 11 April , 2004 Share Posted 11 April , 2004 Hi Mike: As of about seven months ago there were only 12 CEF Great War vets still with us. There was only one from either the 43rd or 75th Battalions: Name: Clifford Holliday Rank: Private Service: 43rd Battalion, CEF Present Location: Gardena California Garth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gen_wizard Posted 11 April , 2004 Share Posted 11 April , 2004 Hi Garath, Thankyou so much, you have turned up trumps again for me. If you ever need anything from my area i'll only be too glad to do it for you. I'm in Oxfordshire, England. Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mordac Posted 12 April , 2004 Share Posted 12 April , 2004 Hi Mike: Just had a look at Clifford Holliday's attestation papers. He enlisted on February 3, 1915 with the 43rd Battalion. His regimental number (421006) falls in the middle of the block assigned to the 43rd, 420001-422000. It looks like he may have been an original with the battalion.
