My grandfathers brother Albert Swann joined the 54th Canadian Infantry Battalion in May 1915. No. 443044
He survived the War. I am going to the battlegrounds shortly and would like to visit the places he fought.
The problem is I can only find his Attestation form not his service record. Reading about the 54th battalion, although they fought at many major battles from August 1916 onwards it seems many men were transferred to other Canadian battalions especially the early recruits of 1915, so he may not have fought with the 54th at all.
I have tried looking at
www.canadiangreatwarproject.com where you can look at all the other soldiers with reg numbers either side of Albert and all those who died, died with other units and those who survived still have 54th Battalion as their unit, only I think because the records have never been updated.
Any ideas?
