Hi,

There is an obituary for him in the Oshawa newspaper.   Date of death matches the one on the notification card found by Ken.

You can contact the Oshawa library for a lookup.

He is buried in Oshawa Union Cemetery.

Thanks everyone - I think my question has been well and truly answered!

But as a follow up, Vbain, could you explain what Accession means in this context please.

Roger

What vbain posted is part of the info that you need to order the military file at LAC. It is on the page before actually viewing the Attestation papers.

If you decide to order the file, read through the section on "How to Consult a File on Site or Order a Copy". It has all the information that you need to order the file and if you find it confusing just post that here and someone will help you through it.
Good luck with your search.
