Super duper news!
Gotta love this site!..Well done as usual!...Plus I like to blow our own horns and say that we also have a wonderful group on the Canada board...all so kind and helpful!
( some tease more than others...but hey, when you're a target...
 :D....gotta have those consecutive circles removed

KPolsom! Welcome to rootschat...

Do continue to keep us posted although remember not to mention names of the living in them... You'll see this going into the completed board but it is only a new home as all can still revive it with a posting and those involved be again notified...all the best!  J.J.

Hi Nicky !
Hi Annie,

I Came by this almost by mistake. I have been researching my Polsom links for some time, and are currently researching my Great Granduncle who i am very proud of. Especially with the Loos  anniversary upon us. Could you please let me know where you obtained the obituary for him as it has amazed me how you came by it.

Some kind people are transcribing the lists from the headstones for the International Wargraves Photography Project ( You can add a thought under "flowers")
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=15353555

The next piece of information came from: Commonwealth War Graves Commission
 "Remembered with honour "  was added by Annie as she wanted you to know how she felt about him...
http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=1766899

and Annie has given you the link to the medal cards on her reply...

Hi, are you still looking for contact/info on the family Polsom in the Regina, Saskatchewan area?  I am from that family and am directly related to most in the area in some way or another.  I just came across this thread totally by accident when searching out of curiosity for some family history/roots.  Fairly certain it is the line you are looking for, and I plan to call my dad tonight ;-)
