Hi Cleadie I asked for help from RCOGK and she just found records that he died in France of pneumonia and has asked for me to have the official death records.. The obit said he was buried in Pickard but the latest cemetery record shows a tombstone for him, his grandmother and mother in Douglas rurual Cemetery. LAC records are vague as to his place of death but I have asked for them. It does seem he was buried in NB, so I will follow up, thanks for your information.
