Good afternoon Kate,

You can order the service records file for this fellow from Archives of Canada. They charge a reasonable price per page and it usually has a lot of interesting info about the serviceman. I suspect your would be the same. There are a commonwealth site link on the Archives site too which has some diaries from where the war was fought in Europe. Hope this helps,
