I am looking for some information or a pointer on how to get it hopefully someone maybe able to help.
I have located my grandfather‘s WW1 CEF attestation papers on the net and have ordered a copy of his military record. However written across the attestation document is ‘45th Battalion‘ but when I look up this battalion in Nicholson‘s history of the CEF there is no reference at all. In his obituary it says that he served in the ‘45th Highlanders‘ and overseas for 4 years, but obits are notoriously inaccurate. Does anybody know if the 45th Battalion existed or where I might find the information on it. He lived in Manitoba when he joined so I thought it might have something to do with the Manitoba regiment but have had no luck there either.
Any assistance will be appreciated. Please email me directly at larryb@direct.ca
