hi karen,
hope this gets to you before you go to the oa, its a long shot but im looking for frederick george jefferis(variants) who settled in canada after serving with the expeditionary forces in ww1, born 1895 in gloucester england son of william jefferis and emma (nee  adams) , we know he did not return to uk so settled somewhere over there so i would appreciate it if you could have a quick look just in case more wishful thinking than anything ,
many thanks
krissy

Hi,

Did you know you can view his attestation papers (Front and back) online? And then you can send for his complete military file, which is often chock full of great info.

Just go to The Canadian Military Heritage Project website at http://www.rootsweb.com/~canmil/ and click on FIND YOUR MILITARY ANCESTOR (left side bar). There's an explanation and links there for these records.
