Canadian Infantry (Saskatchewen Regiment)

[Paul Bradshaw]

Help needed - looking for any information regarding 812000 Private Wilfred Riley 28th Battalion who died 8th November, 1917. I have seen CWGC site and UK 1901 Census which shows him as a native of Huthwaite, Notts. His next of kin was his father Peter whose address was Crippslade, Alberta. Wilfred gave his address as North Edmonton, Alberta where he was a hardware clerk

Any help with further information would be gratefully received.

Paul.
