: Hello Sarge,
:
: First off where are you so I know where you
: are searching from? Most of our group is located in Ontario Canada, although we have members in Great Britain and the US.
:
: I have been doing a bit of searching around
: for Neil and have put out a few feelers on
: him and as soon as I get some answers back I
: will contact you. That would be great!
:
: Next question what can you tell me about the
: 21st Btn I think that is Battalion. Is it
: the Army? 21st Battalion was formed in 1914 in Kingston Ontario and proceeded to England and France in May of 1915. It was disbanded in 1919 after the job was done.
: I see that Neil was awarded the MC with bar
: I am assuming that is the Military Cross
: which is British. that is correctAny other information you
: can provide will be of great help. The more
: info you can provide the better I can help. most of what we have found is posted at http://21st-battalion-2.tripod.com/page1.html[/i]

: I am compiling a list of soldiers from the
: 21st Btn and life details on them. I wonder
: if anyone knows of Neil, his mother Mary
: Jane MacCrimmon (not sure of maiden name) of
: Calgary Alta Canada and can tell me what
: happened to him after the war.
: Thanks
: Sarge
Again, thanks for your help
