GWF1967 Posted 24 March , 2019 Share Posted 24 March , 2019 (edited) Hi, Another Field Service Regulations (1914) Book. Signed by 2/Lt. James Robert Steele. Newfoundland Regiment. Overseas. Gallipoli. As Cpl. 926. - Bw+ VM roll shows 20/8/1915 - 26/12/1915. (MIC.+15* roll shows 19/9/1915. - Arrival at Suvla?) - F&F 19/12/17 - 9/3/1918. Son of Sarah Blanche + Samuel Owen Steele, who founded the family business (S.O.Steele Ltd. 1901 - 1983), at 100 Water Street, St Johns, Newfoundland, and retired to Kings Kerswell, Devon. - This address was given by 2/Lt Steele for correspondence re.medals. Once again I'm struggling to find his service record on BAC-LAC (Library and Archives Canada); I'd also like to locate a War Diary if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. His brother Lt. Owen William Steele 1st Btn. was killed at Beaumont Hamel on 8/7/1916 and is buried at Maily Maillet Cemetery. His diary is published here - https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt8165s Edited 24 March , 2019 by GWF1967 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
