Hi Jim;

Interesting to note that your Uncle was on a draft (4 Apr 44) to a unit in the UK (No. 7 Canadian Infantry Reinforcement Unit) that no longer existed, having been disbanded effective 27 March 1944 with the reorganization of the Canadian Reinforcement Units in the United Kingdom (I guess it took a bit of time for news to travel). This would explain why there is no entry on his Record of Service regarding No. 7 Canadian Infantry Reinforcement Unit. When he arrived in the UK, he was taken on strength of No. 4 Canadian Infantry Reinforcement Unit, due to the simple fact that No. 7 no longer existed.

Cheers
