[TARNATION !!!]

Pictures are a work in progress. Once I have the research letter, which I expect won’t have the soldier’s name, the work begins. I have an XL spreadsheet supplied by the Canadian War Museum with the names (and a lot more) of every soldier who died on the dates of the Vimy ridge offensive. Some may also have died elsewhere. I’m hoping to zero in on hometowns near the retailer who actually sold the gun in 1901. That may get me some decent possibilities. If I could jog the memory a bit with the gentleman who sold it to me, I might be able to work backwards through ancestry.com. That might get me close as well. Hoping for the best. Cheers Jack
