Hi, I am wondering if any listers have any connections to/knowledge of soldiers who served in the 38th Battalion of the CEF during WW1? I am researching my great-uncle, John Sammiel Hall, who was killed Aug 10, 1918 near Hallu, France. He was born 22 Mar 1895 in Shallow Lake, the son of John and Margaret Hall. His sister, Myrtle, was my grandmother. The family had moved from Tecumseth in the early 1890s. I have his personnel file and a copy of his entry in the unit's casualty report. However, I am hoping against hope that someone has a letter in their collections that might mention him (eg, as a friend in the unit, etc.) At the time of his death he was serving with "D" Company. I know this is a long shot, but I would love to round out his story... Thanks, Robert H. Jardine
The local papers quite often had articles about the wounded or those that died overseas.
