wizard2250 Posted 1 July , 2009 Share Posted 1 July , 2009 Funny, I've had so much trouble looking for RNR #1601 Patrick J. Boland's information and I just Googled his name and found out that my provincial archives had 34 pages of war-related documents! One of these documents are a coded/decoded telegram related to his death. Could anyone tell me: 1. What was the basis of the code? 2. What does the word 'Synoptical' denote? 3. He served in the Royal Canadian Regiment as a Lance Corporal prior to the start of WW1. Anyone have a thought on why he would have left for the RNR? I know from old papers that he left Halifax and returned to Newfoundland in 1914, but wouldn't he have been recalled to the RCR first? thanks to all, shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockdoc Posted 2 July , 2009 Share Posted 2 July , 2009 I'd guess synoptical comes from synopsis, a short summary of a long document. A precis. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
