I have copies of many letters written to the Canadian Immigration department in 1917. In these files were letters informing the Immigration branch that dependents of Canadian soldiers (and some single women) were granted permission to travel to the UK. If anyone thinks that their family member travelled to the UK to visit, please send me an email and I can check these letters for their names. I have confirmed that one lady travelled to be with her husband after he was blinded by shrapnel and was sent to St. Dunstan's in England to recover. Annette
