SMG65 Posted 26 April , 2005 Share Posted 26 April , 2005 I have just recieved the service records of a relative who fought with the CEF. He was posted to 102 Battalion and wounded on 9 April 1917 at Vimy Ridge. On 20/06/17 he was posted to 16 Reserve Battalion and then on 29/10/17 he was posted to 4th Canadian Labour Battalion which became 2nd Canadian Works Battalion. I am looking for information on all of the above mentioned units. Can anybody help? SEAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandsonMichael Posted 26 April , 2005 Share Posted 26 April , 2005 Hi Sean, The Library and Archives of Canada have put the War diaries of a great number of units online: Search Engine There is a list of units to use with the search engine: Key List The War Diary entries for the 102nd Canadian Infantry Battalion can be found here: 102nd Canadian Infantry Battalion Those for the 16th Reserve Bn. here: 16th Reserve Battalion There is only one entry for the Labour Bn., not specified: Labour Battalion I can't find a seperate entry for the Canadian Works Bn. For more information you can try this excellent website: CEF Study Group Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
