However as I am a snowbird, away until the end of March meaning I have restricted resources with me. Yes it can be confusing. Some of us however have been studying the makeup and men of the CEF for a number of years and are quite happy to assist others.<br />Cheers<br />BobBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08981264560557679910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482177653150365575.post-55840468592571888582014-12-26T12:25:48.113-08:002014-12-26T12:25:48.113-08:00I am interested in 1st Div. 1st Brigate 3rd Regime...I am interested in 1st Div. 1st Brigate 3rd Regiment or Battalion and 4th.Battalion~ regimental diaries in particular 1st Div. Engineers and who they were attached to, example 3rd ( Toronto Regiment) Battalion were made up, so I believe, of 10th Royal Grenadiers; 48th Highlanders; 2nd. Regiment, Queen's Own & Governor General's Bodyguard ~ also interested in 5th Coy of this Battalion. It is very confusing how these units were formed as well as what they actually did during the WWI ~ such as infantry, artilery, postal system & other functions. Of particular interest is Reg./Service no. 9698 W.E.Marley ( Grandfather of D.L.Hedger) who was assigned to 1st div. Engineers ( because of Service in Boer War with Royal Engineers ( Great Britain) also Reg./Service no.642682 William George Hedger ( distant cousin of D.L.Hedger) ~ service no. indicates 4th battalion 1st Brigade however Attestation Paper indicates "157th O.S. Bn., C.E.F. ~ trouble finding who the 157th battalion was attached to however William George Hedger was a mechanic at Collingwood Ship Yards and as such was in Artillery, attached to what regimen?. Lot to the puzzle here I guess I would like to see the diaries of these battle units ~ where do we find these?? Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10090568561269044584noreply@blogger.com
