He was born in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire 17 March 1883. He had two sisters, no brothers. His younger sister Evelyn served with the Red Cross in Cardiff although the Red Cross has no record of her.

He was definitely someone who was willing to do whatever it took to make ends meet. He emigrated to Canada twice, looking for a better life. I know for certain he joined the Canadian Veteran Guards during WW2 because the pay was good, he got to travel and would end up with a pension. And I've always believed he went home to serve during the first world war for similar reasons.

I know you're probably fed up with me asking questions Jeff ... but could you tell me where you found  great-grandfather's papers on Ancestry ? ... how did they spell his name exactly ?

Initials ... full name ? ... because I can't find him !!

It occured to me that he may have joined up in Canada ... did he ??

I said 106395 didn't I. And here I am looking right at the form with the number 106935 on it. My appologies. Thanks for the correction Sandy.

I have a total of 18 pages in the file.

Hi Jeff

No, he did not go abroad. After enlisting in Cardiff he served at Shirehampton (Bristol) and Ormskirk (Lancashire).

Here is a link to the Remounts Service - http://www.1914-1918.net/remounts.html
