Question for a Seaforth Highlanders of Can expert please
Dear Forum members,
I’m looking for a Seaforth Highlanders of Canada expert who might be able to tell me what company a soldier I’m researching served while engaged at Ortona. The man in question is A/Sgt Eric F. Sellers, killed on Christmas Day 1943. I’ve checked all the usual sources and have come up empty, hoping someone out there may have some unpublished or lesser-known rolls of Seaforth’s that include company designations. Any help gratefully received with much thanks, David |

Have you checked with Colin Mcgregor-stevens? He might be able to help or point you in the right direction.

Hi David
Did you see his Service File? I had a look but no mention of Company anywhere that I could see. Names of Parents, Sisters and Brothers in there too but cannot see any reference to sub-unit assignments. I also noted that he had a number of service discipline issues, had previously been in hospital and had reverted to Corporal by the time of his death. A good read. https://recherche-collection-search....ellers%20Eric& No doubt there will be someone along soon enough to be more help. Good luck. regards Darrell

service discipline issues
Seems having discipline issues wasn't unique in the Seaforth Highlanders. Even a VC winner got busted down too.
