Broznitsky Posted 6 January , 2004 Share Posted 6 January , 2004 Dave, it looks like 40th was absorbed by 26th Reserve, who were absorbed by 17th Reserve. 17th was NS affiliated; reinforced 25th (5th Brigade), 85th (12th Brigade), and RCRs (7th Brigade) - all saw lots of action. Ordering his service records from NAC would tell you the the complete story. Have fun, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
