I think I have now worked this out. The soldier is William Alfred Hall born in Canterbury in 1895 who emigrated to Canada in 1912. He joined the CEF and was posted back over here where he met my 2x Great Aunt Laura Pink. She was from the Petersfield area in Hampshire and he was in hospital in Bramshott in 1917 after getting wounded in France. They married in 1919 before he went back to Canada to be discharged. She followed soon after. I've been in touch with their grandson over in Canada.

Thanks for all the help with this.

Mark.

Hi, Mark.
If you have not already done so, you can download his Service Record which is a 'gold mine' of information.
Go to:
https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/military-heritage/first-world-war/personnel-records/Pages/search.aspx
Then enter his name.
Two people by that name appear. He is the second.
Click on his name.
On the next page, click on the download link, "Digitized service file - PDF format B3953-S050'.
Then read all about him. I suspect his grandson would also be interested in accessing a copy.

Hi Simon,

Yep, already seen that, it's where I got the confirmation I had the right person as it mentions Laura Pink later on in the record. It's a massive document so thanks for the link, I've used that to download it rather than at Ancestry where I'd have to download each of the 86 pages separately and not all at once. I haven't come across a service record as big as that before.

Thanks again.
