I have been following the trail of my home child in Canada. I had found her first hubby in the WW1 Canada Soldiers database on the National Archives of Canada site but his records had not been uploaded. After waiting months I emailed them and got a response that they had not received funding to carry on with that project but he would scan and upload my guys info.
Today he sent me the attestation pages and said that in error the soldiers entire file had been scanned, did I want it free of charge!!!!!!!!!
So now on the way to me is his full service record on CD free of charge.
Am currently dancing in the air right now.
Its given me one little mystery, why did he claim to be a widower when wife was alive and well living in either Detroit or Toronto at the time.
So if you have an email you are thinking about sending to an archives or similar then send it, as you never know what you might get back.
