No, no problem Jim, your Uncle's Reinforcement 'Infantry' draft, Serial: S/L 3806, when made up was originally intended for No. 7 Canadian Infantry Reinforcement Unit, in the United Kingdom, but since this Unit had been disbanded, upon arrival in the UK, the draft was taken on strength of No. 4 Canadian Infantry Reinforcement Unit instead.
By the way, with the Mar 1944 reorganization of the Canadian Reinforcement Units in the United Kingdom, No. 4 Canadian Infantry Reinforcement Unit, now held the reinforcements for the following infantry units: West NSR, N Shore R, NNS Highrs, Carlt & York, CB Highrs, RHC, Hast & PER and SD & G Highrs.
There is an eleven day window from the time your Uncle arrived in the UK until he was TOS to the X 4 List (Reinforcement) for the North Shore (NB) Regt.
Cheers
