He was a member of the 82nd "Abegweit Light Infantry" Regiment prior to enlisting, and was a member of the 105th Battalion. Was also a fisherman. Served in the Veterans Guard of Canada (as noted on his military headstone). Mother listed as 'Lena Walsh' on marriage record, which is likely Selina Dawe, but entered as separate record in case is different person.
