Hi,

 I have a copy of "Field Service Regulations Part 1 Operations 1909 (1912)" Inside the cover is written " Col Sgt Don A.S. Mackay. 36th Peel Regt. Canada"

I googled and found 36th Peel Regt. existed 1921 - 1923,  (Previously - 1888 - 1921 Peel Battalion), renamed  - 1923 - 1936 Peel and Dufferin).  Whilst the regiment was not mobilized itself during the Great War  " drafts from various units were called up".

 

I can't find a D.A.S. Mackay using "Library and Archives Canada, any help finding if Col Sgt Mackay saw overseas service would be greatly appreciated.

  There is a Donald A.S. Mackay B. 1884, Thurso, Caithness. I wonder if he could be my man?

I think he is indeed your man as his record shows him as a Col Sergt on page 11 http://central.bac-lac.gc.ca/.item/?op=pdf&app=CEF&id=B6923-S027

Makes interesting reading!

Many thanks indeed David; definitely the same man, birth, father, date and place of death all match.
