My grandfather,Alexander Singleton,enlisted with the Canadian Expeditionary Force on May 29,1916 in Dryden ,Ontario.He was from the Eagle Lake Indian Reserve.He is buried at Eagle Lake.
He was sent overseas and was involved in some of the battles in France and Belgium.It may have been in Ypres and Passchendaele.From what I been able to learn,he was somewhere east of Ypres on October 16,1917.
He was wounded and sent to recuperate at a place called Kingswood House in South London.I don't know yet exactly when he was wounded.
Kingswood House was an old Victorian mansion which was used as a hospital for wounded Canadian soldiers during WW1.
The History Channel recently filmed a documentary about my grandfather,Alexander Singleton,and it will be aired on Rememberance Day November 11,2008 at 7:30 PM.
