[auchonvillerssomme]

Another avenue to follow could be double checking and cross referencing, for example B Gordon may have been 'Bert' there is a contender for than name on CWGC. But I wouldn't add it until confirmed by other sources.

Name: GORDON, JOSEPH ALBERT

Initials: J A

Nationality: Canadian

Rank: Private

Regiment/Service: Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (Eastern Ontario Regiment)

Age: 29

Date of Death: 04/06/1916

Service No: McG/272

Additional information: Son of James and Mary Gordon, of Goderich, Ontario.

Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead

Grave/Memorial Reference: Panel 10.

Memorial: YPRES (MENIN GATE) MEMORIAL

Personally I wouldn't list them if I wasn't 100% certain it was the man. One mistake and thats the one everyone concentrates one when evaluating your work.

[532SQN]

Good day I will take the list of the Goderich boys to the Legion and have a look to see if I can find their pictures. We have a wall of veterans there possible 200 photos.

I will update
