Hi Stephen: Routine Order #1582 - issued by General Arthur Currie - December 21, 1917. I'm planning to visit the New Westminster public library this Friday. I'll let you know if I find anything on Cpl. White in the 'Columbian' archives. Garth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mordac Posted 10 February , 2004 Share Posted 10 February , 2004 Hi Stephen: As a reference point on the CEF's WWI timeline, Arthur Currie replaced Julian Byng as commander of the Canadian Corps on June 9, 1917. That's why his name appears on the Routine Order. Garth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
