Talking Thanks Mark :)

Thanks as ever, Mark

For Grandpa Joe, the typing/ink is faded and I can only make out THIS at the top of the page;

(?)0th Battalion CEF

Signing Officer looks like;

W.H. Hastings ??? (does this help narrow things?)

Signed March 15th 1917 (edited the March "13" error in reading )
(so there's no way he could have been with either Archie or William, as they died in 1915)

ARCHIE VIZNAUGH ... yes, I just now wrote down what I could read;

already serving at signing attestation papers:
96 Reg. (?) Militia (as you said )

QUESTION:
Was everyone drafted for WW1?
I keep wondering why Grandpa didn't sign on until 1917... he was 34 years old then.

It's just nice for me to know how things "worked" in general, not just about my gramps.

Thanks ... Karmen
