(Also, for info) William, Thistletown, Ontario, farm labourer; 1915, July, Pte., Canadian Horse; Transferred to Machine Gun Batt.; 1918, Sept., Wounded."

Pte 4735 QUICK; In Rimmer book with a pic FYI. LBO 1919:

"QUICK Harold Arthur, 70, Hockliffe Road, carpenter; Nov 1914 Pte., 1/5th Batt. Beds Regiment; July 1915 To Gallipoli; Sept., Died of Wounds." Was wounded 15th August attack & fairly sure I read he was a bandsman but struggling to recall where at the mo ...

Hope its of use?
