[sharonkai]

I have been unable to access Canada, WWI CEF Personnel Files, 1914 - 1918 on Ancestry.com as premier membership is required which I do not have.

If anyone has access to this and is willing to copy this record for me it would be greatly appreciated.  The person of interest is:

Henry Arbuckle
Born 13 July 1888
Residing Vancouver BC
Regimental Number 2015735.

Regards
Sharon

They are free to view at Library and Archives Canada.

This is the link for Henry:

They take a long time to load. Seriously, go put the kettle on for tea while you wait.

Thanks bbart - much appreciated.

I'm in Australia and our libraries don't have access to Canadian information on Ancestry, unfortunately.

Warm regards
