Hi Karmen;

It looks like when Eddie's father joined, he was with the 190th (Winnipeg Rifles) Infantry Battalion, C.E.F., who left Canada for the UK in May 1917 and upon arrival in England, were broken up and absorbed into the 18th Reserve Battalion, in other words, they became reinforcements for the Infantry Battalions already serving in France and Flanders.

The reason for his joining so late, may have been worked related.

Cheers
