    2. I am sorry but I have given you all the facts I have. It was perfectly legal for a canadian to join the British Army. Once he was 3 miles out to sea he was not on Canadian territory anyway. Most of the white colonies fought in the British army i.e. Australia, New Zealand, S.Africa, Canada and so on. If your man did fight in a british unit his documents if they still exist would be held by the British National archives and you will need an independent searcher to find them. They are not on line. The URL is _www.nationalarchives.gov.uk_ (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk) . The archives do not undertake searches but can give you the names of reliable researchers. The cost is about £20 an hour. Good hunting John JOHN CRONIN CHRISTCHURCH DORSET UK NOLITE ME CULPARE-SUFFRAGATUS SUM ERAE PORCELLAE
