Myrtle Posted 23 April , 2013 Share Posted 23 April , 2013 I have come across Herbert Eustace Greenslade from Barnstaple who was with the 54th Battalion Canadian Infantry Reg. no. 443420 He died suddenly in early 1918 and is buried in Chittlehampton, Devon. The local newspaper mentions that he was with the Canadians suggesting that he had left them but not clarifying if that was due to injury or failing health. I haven't been able to find him on the CWGC site so am wondering if anyone has checked if he is a possible non-commemoration ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithmroberts Posted 23 April , 2013 Share Posted 23 April , 2013 Here's his regimental number and record link from the Canadian veterans database - unfortunalely his record doesn't seem to be digitised. The full record would need to be checked, or his death certificate ordered. Details also below. Keith Name: GREENSLADE, HERBERT EUSTACE Regimental number(s): 443420 Reference: RG 150, Accession 1992-93/166, Box 3797 - 15 Death cert Name: GREENSLADE, Herbert E Registration district: [?] Barnstaple County: Devon Year of registration: 1918 Quarter of registration: Jan-Feb-Mar Age at death:31 Volume no: 5B Page no: 609 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrtle Posted 23 April , 2013 Author Share Posted 23 April , 2013 Thank you Keith. I had found the same details but just wanted to check that someone else hasn't already looked at Herbert Greenslade's death certificate to see if he is a non-com.
