Well - having abandoned all logic I'm pleased to find that uncle Harry, half deaf and full of shrapnel, was acquitted of letting a man in custody slip away - even though they've misfiled his innocence in an unusable puzzle. Thanks for your guidance!

I think I'm going mad. Any Canadian help out there to get access to this microfilm? I'm going round in circles but the file doesn't seem to be in the location as catalogued on Héritage? @mike-bechthold.bsky.social @caitlindeangelis.bsky.social

He served with 343 Brigade Royal Field Artillery, a Territorial unit in home service only. He appears to have claimed a pension, so whatever affected his health was related to his service. The record suggests he died in 1927, but I'm not sure if that's correct as I can't quickly see a record for it

Lovely story. Uncle Walter Crooks was there with C coy 14 HLI. He was captured near Mory on 25th March 1918 and handed over at Beugny. Returned home in January 1919 and rejoined the Coldstream Guards
