Arthur Curtin
« on: Monday 17 November 14 17:06 GMT (UK) »
My Grandfather's brother, Arthur Curtin, born 1873 in Holborn London England became an orphan in 1881. He was an apprentice blacksmith in Victoria BC in Canada. In 1901 he was in Scotland and joined the Imperial Yeomanry. He left the army 20th November 1902 at Green Point South Africa. In December 1944 he wrote a letter to his brothers wife in Canada and his address was Box 1112 Johannesburg. Most of the above information comes from his army service papers.
I would love to know whether he married, whether he had children and when he died.
Can anyone help.
