Simeon Ford - Canadian Royal Newfoundland Regiment 3866 ?

Appears not to have Died ?

Is there any mention of Mildenhall for this man?

I have a number Simeons in my tree none of them Offords but mine seem to switch between both Simeon and Simon in the various records.

I don't think it would be if he was serving with a Newfoundland regiment during WW1, as Newfoundland didn't join the Canadian Confederation until 31 March 1949. From 1907 until then it was a self-governing Dominion.

Thanks for that i often wondered why the Newfoundland Regiment Medal Index Cards were in National Archives and not with CEF ones - they arent online on Canadian Archive but maybe in a file somewhere as there is a reference number.
