Question for the Experts

[Barry Churcher]

I have been asked a queation by one of my customers at the garage and I think I know the answer, but rather than lead her astray I will defer to some of the expertise on MLU. Her father was the manager of a rather large agricultural operation in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. He went to the closest recruiter and volunteered at the wars outbreak. The owner of the farm did whatever was necessary to make him an essential worker. When her father found out he quit the job and went to Montreal to join up. He enlisted in the Fort Garry Horse. Her question is
" why would he not have been in a Quebec regiment or more specifically one from Montreal as opposed to one from Winnipeg?" He finished the war in that regiment as a driver. Her and her sister have graciously offered me her fathers tanker overalls. She said he sold most of his medals when someone came door to door buying old silver.

Thanks for any input
