canadian Overseas Exp force ?
« on: Sunday 30 March 08 10:06 BST (UK) »
Just found the papers (on ancestry) for 2 of my great/g uncles.
It seems after serving with Royal Welsh Fusilliers, they joined the C.O.E.F though it doesnt state which battalion.
Francis William Rowlands born Towyn 1891(reg no: 5312) and Edward Rowlands born Towyn 1888(reg no:5457)
How do i found out which Battalion? and the papers state that they are signing up for 1 year., so what happened after that year?
Help appreciated
