Can anyone please help me. Two of my family served in the forces during ww1. Philip Taylor of Budds Farm, Aston le Walls Northamptonshire, joined 21 Alberta Hussars on 12th January 1915. I would like to know how I can find out how he came to be in Canada, and what happened to him after 1915. Any ideas on how I can proceed will be greatly appreciated. Also his brother John Thomas Taylor of Budds Farm, Aston le Walls, Northamptonshire enlisted in Northamptonshire Regiment in Northampton 26 Jan 1917. How can I find out what happened to him after this date.

Have you got copies of their Attestation Papers from this site http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/d...2-100.01-e.php ? Have you looked for them on passenger lists and the Canadian Census?

One of my Yorkshire born ag labs served in the Canadian forces during WW1 and was killed in action.
We found his attestation paper online & wondered what he was doing in Canada. We later found him on a pre-war passenger list, but there was still the mystery of why he went.
An interview with a relative threw up the answer - her uncle had said a baby was on the way, Arthur hadn't wanted to marry the mother, so had scarpered off to Canada. Uncle was able to supply a name for the child and it appears the rumour could well have been correct!
