Thanks Donkenny I'm just a very interested person looking into the unit that worked the woods during our hours of need during WW1 & we are grateful to all our commonwealth cousins for the help you have all given us during these troubled times. So far I have found some interesting info about the 126th they worked at Amptill in Bedfordshire County & here in Santon Downham in Suffolk. While they were here they built two houses which remained intact until the late seventy's I had the privilege of working for the then owner for a few hours a week before I left school & the house next door was owned by a market gardener were I used to collect vegetable's from for my mother so I suppose now I am retired I have some time to look into it all. The forest is one of the largest in the U K & I have recently joined a conservation group which meets once a month to carry out various projects also as a boy I played with friends on the site of the old Mill the 126th set up, it was mostly a pickling plant for fencing materials but they still had some of the old railway lines for running hand trolleys on. many thanks for all your help once again.

Hi I was wondering if you have a member of the Kenny family Known as Captain A B R Kenny from Ottawa who served with the 126 Corps of the Canadian Forestry Corps during WW1 in England. I am researching a unit that created a logging camp & mill in a forest near my home town hear in England so thanks in advance if you can be of any help.

Hi I have recently started searching for Canadian Forestry Corps history during the 1st WW they played a part in my local forest & finding details on the Canadian Governments web site it has lead me to the No 126 Company of which a captain A B R Kenny was in command, he came from Ottawa hence my search for any Kenny's there. So seeing your name in the Roots Chat forum I make this enquire. I'm wondering if you mite be able to offer some information regarding this Gentleman & maybe you have some photos you could possible copy & pass on.
Many thanks in advance.
