S.J. Albert, Carleton and York Regiment

[Darrell Zinck]

Hi Rob

There are some options open to you dependent on what you're after.

He was assigned a WW2 Regt'l Number attributed to the Carleton and Yorks in NB. He died in Bramalea, Ontario on September 27th, 1992 at age 75.

You can ask after his service file here:

You (or anyone) can get a "redacted-for-personal-info" file from LAC for a WW2 soldier (good for proving medal entitlements) unless you can prove he's been deceased more than 20 yrs (dated newspaper Obit, grave photo, death cert. etc).

If one proves that a WW2 soldier has been deceased +20years, anyone can order the un-redacted file. Not sure if the Legion's Last Post register would count though.

I believe that the records of the C&Y are held by the 8th Hussar Museum in Sussex NB. Not sure.

Please let me now if I can be of further help.

Darrell
