And my Great-Great Uncle Charles William McWhirter (1875-1969)
Uncle Charlie signed up in Winnipeg, Manitoba on July 9, 1915. He was 40 years old, having served previously three years with the Queens Own Regiment, Toronto, four years with the 99th Manitoba Rangers and the 100th Winnipeg Grenadiers. Charles served with the 78th Battalion CEF then in 1916 he was assigned to the 5th Battalion CEF. He returned to Canada and discharged in 1919. |
With ith help from the South East Military Museum here in Estevan, I had a memorial banner made and placed in Remembrance of my Grandad. Veteran's banners are being hung all over the city and in other communities in South East Saskatchewan. What a great way to remember and honour them.
