My wife‘s great-uncle, William Robert HENDRY (1892-1917) died at Vimy Ridge, France, 5th May 1917. I realize that is about 3 weeks after the main battle of 9th-14th April, 1917. We would like to know about the 46th Bn., Canadian Infantry (Saskatchewan Regt.) role at Vimy and of course the circumstances of his death. Can anyone help? Family records are non-existent and no one alive recalls the circumstances.
We‘d like to know about the 46th Bn., Canadian Infantry (Saskatchewan Regt.) i.e.
When the Unit formed, the general background of the Units history, when / where they trained, date of departure, ships name, service overseas and the ship names, ports, and date when returned and demobbed, etc.
I recently wrote to the Canada National Archives for his Attestation Papers and Enlistment Form, hoping that it will tell us a bit more on his service. I am willing to share with anyone interested.
Thanks for any response, all assistance appreciated.
