Stellan Bojerud Posted 18 April , 2005 Share Posted 18 April , 2005 I have found out that a Colonel Dennis should have been Head of Department Informations in the Canadian Expeditionary Force to Siberia 1918-19. But I have no given names and there are som many with the name Dennis in CEF, so I sould be very grateful for help solving this question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted 18 April , 2005 Share Posted 18 April , 2005 I think he ended the war with a CMG (Companion of the Order of St.Michael & St.George) and a Mention in Despatches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koots Posted 20 April , 2005 Share Posted 20 April , 2005 Hello Stellan Here's an entry from a Canadian book dated 1921 titled. "Who's Who And Why". It looks like the same person. The abbreviation C.E. would be Civil Engineer but I don’t know about D.T.S. His entry in this issue looks as if it hadn't been updated since pre war as there is no mention of his war record.

Stellan Bojerud Posted 21 April , 2005 Author Share Posted 21 April , 2005 Thanks a lot! Still curious. John Stoughton Dennis was thus born in 1856. He was then 63 years old in 1919. Is it likely that a man of that age joined CEF Siberia? Stellan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandsonMichael Posted 21 April , 2005 Share Posted 21 April , 2005 Thanks a lot! Still curious. John Stoughton Dennis was thus born in 1856. He was then 63 years old in 1919. Is it likely that a man of that age joined CEF Siberia? Stellan <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The answer is: affirmative. The Library and Archives Canada have put the attestation papers of most men who served in the CEF online: Col. J.S. Dennis As you can see it's your man, he was in the reserves and joined the CEF S. I presume the S. is for Siberia So he saw previous military service....it all fits. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borden Battery Posted 22 April , 2005 Share Posted 22 April , 2005 There is a person named Peter Broznitsky from the CEF Study Group who is doing a lot of research on Russian soldiers in the CEF. If you go to this discussion forum [ http://www.cefresearch.com ] you should be able to make contact with Peter. He is one of the moderators.
