Thanks Sandra  :)

The load speed of that newspaper from the Sask. archives could make a person crazy. ;D

Another small tidbit, March 30, 1916, page 1 "Cupar Soldier boys guests of honor at grand banquet" 
Shamrock Hall taxed to capacity to honor the brave lads......about 30, including D.M. Taylor

Remarkable you found those pieces, it takes a lot of time trawling thru newspapers. Great results once again dbree.  :)

Another query raised on Handwriting, Deciphering and Recognition................

Thanks Sandra. :) I only trawled around his enlistment and death dates. It is a weekly paper and only
5 or so pages, so not too bad.

Things I learned..
The black collie with white markings named Poodle was found
The panama hat lost on Ashland St., sadly I think that was gone for good
You could buy a pure linen skirt for 99 cents
You could buy Robertson's Pure English Jams 90 cents a tin. Seems pricey, I could add 9 cents
and get a skirt.

 ;D ;D
