On his attestation records he replies to the question, 'Do you belong to the Active Militia?' with : 79th C.H. of C Black Watch.

laughton Posted 5 April , 2008 Share Posted 5 April , 2008 See also this list of common abbreviations from Library and Archives Canada as it relates to Attestation Papers: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealo...9.006.01-e.html A more detailed list is also in one of the Matrix Utilities here: http://cefresearch.com/matrix/Utilities/abbreviations.htm and lastly Brett has a large list on the CEFSG forum site. At any time, Canadian Pals are here to assist, as your group has so readily assisted the colonials! Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
