My Granfather at Vimy Ridge

[Norm Cromie (RIP)]

Hi Alvin:

I joined the 48th Highlanders in 1939 when I lived on Sixth St. in New Toronto. My wifes maiden name was Betty Ford and her father served in the C.E.F during WW1. In this photo he is the one in the upper right corner. His father (Henry Ford) was also in the service but came from Wilshire, England. I believe they moved to Canada when her father was 4 years old. I may be wrong but when your grandfather joined the army 28th street was at that time New Toronto but I believe it later became part of Long Branch. Do you know the name of your grandfathers unit in WW1?
