Richard John Crascall

[mazzie74]

Hi

I am looking for information on Richard John Crascall who was born in Dover, Kent in 1889.

He emigrated to Canada in 1910 (his emigration record is on Anc.)

His grave is also on Findagrave dying in 1971 and it states Pte. CLI (Canadian Light Infantry).

His wife's grave (Florence Crascall) is along there dying in 1971.

Any information (military, family, obituary) etc would be most appreciated

Thanks

Darin.

Perhaps you could contact Regina Public Library on the Ask A Librarian Link to see if they can help with an obituary for Richard John Crascall - 18 December 1971 (remember the time difference between UK and Saskatchewan of 6 hours )
