Robert; is he the same Wilson Vanidour that died in BC in 1948? b. 1876 which would make him 38 at the start of WW1. I wonder if he was too old to join the RCE?

That is him. His obit, which I just acquired, say he was with the CAE. His age would not make much diff. Another of my gr-grandfathers was 38 when he re-enlisted in WW1.
