Hello Al,

Wow. Amazing experiences and stories your Grandfather must have had.

My own Grandpa Joe Smith was with the CMR CEF but I know absolutely nothing of his service. I want to get his records one day. I found out he served when I visited Archivianet and browsed all of the WW1 Joseph Smith's until I found him and his Attestation papers online for free viewing!!! What an awesome moment that was for me. And what an awesome thing to have that information accessible to families just for the clicking of the mouse!

Your Grandfather sounds like he was very sturdy stuff and I can only imagine how his wartime experiences made him even tougher.
