Find These People

Recommended Posts

I am making a mini-documentary about a forum post I made a couple months ago, and I need help researching these people:

Gunner George Sulker Bothwell of the 32nd Trench Mortar Battalion (CEF)

Sargent John Robert Bothwell of the No.1 Field Ambulance (CEF)

Major Boyce of the No.1 Field Ambulance (CEF)

Captain Alexander MacLennan Gordon

and if you can, Helena Elanor Robinson.

 

Please tell me what you find!

Thanks,

BreadGuy.

Like GWF1967 said, its all there for George.

I know nothing about Major Boyce other than he was responsible for planning George's funeral.

I know that Captain Gordon sent a letter to Georges mother at the time of his death.

This is all I know about Helena:

Full Canadian WW1 service record for John Robert Bothwell:

Similarly, for Alexander MacLennan Gordon:

There are 183 individuals named Boyce with a Canadian WW1 service record, so unless you can find a middle name for him you might have go through them all to eliminate individuals:

Canadian census records are also available online through the same site, so you should also be able to trace Helena Eleanor Robinson through the 1901, 1911, and 1921 Canadian censuses:

I forgot to mention that his name was George Joseph Boyce. I already have his records.
