Re: Letter K instead of number

Brilliant Phil……..I learned something new today and have to remember that when looking at WW1 (K) documents. And you explanation makes total sense. The second document, I believe is not a typo, but the letter K, as he was proceeding from Kimmel Park to Canada, so the K may have meant any draft from ...

Re: Letter K instead of number

I can’t help you with the “K”, I’ve never seen this on a military record of WW1 I download his file, and has a lot of information, note he was transferred to the 2nd CMR (Canadian Mounted Rifles) and was wounded while with them.
