Canada, World War II Records and Service Files of War Dead
Queens Own Cameron Highlanders.

John Arthur McDonald  - Birth Date 2 Oct 1921 Griffiths Town, Monmouthshire, England
Residence Place 297 Furby Street Winnipeg, Manitoba - labourer.
Death Date 14 Sep 1944 - Service Number H19565
Regiment Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada, R.C.I.C.
Rank Corporal
Next of Kin Sarah MacDonald - Relationship Mother. Stoney Mountain (crossed out - says see change )

signed by Ila McDonald (widow) - 1st March 1945

The insurance policy of the deceased was never signed over to me and any valubles were left in her custody and since his death she has never told me of any of them so I've answered the question
to the best of my knowledge.


Sincerely Ila C McDonald.

Winnipeg. Manitoba.

Oh wow, thanks Sandra.

If you can get WW2 information, would you mind looking for Henry William "Hank" Hyde please?

He was born in 1917 and died in 2005

He was in the Canadian Armed Forces. 

Thanks again
Kind regards
