I'm sure many of you are already aware of the @UkNatArchives free digital downloads but if not you may find my article offering a Canadian perspective on their military records helpful: https://t.co/59pmK5WZQP

@redhunttravel Hi Red! I'm well thanks and hope you are too.

[Steve Clifford @jake_a_loo]

I'm paying tribute to frontline workers in the fight against COVID-19 by sharing photos of #FWW hospitals from my collection. This week: Red Gables Private Hospital in Bletchingley, Surrey. More photos here: https://t.co/gF12NZjXDV

@BletchingleyRH1 You're welcome ... I was hoping those with an interest in their local history would enjoy seeing the photographs. Part two is in the works!

@baldgrrl @_cmduncan @VicGenealogy @DaveObeeTC @Goheenoverlord @LibraryArchives We’re following a strong lead and I’m in the process of contacting someone on Ancestry who may be able to help (fingers crossed).

[Steve Clifford @jake_a_loo]

@_cmduncan @VicGenealogy @DaveObeeTC @Goheenoverlord Does the second document you posted have a date on it? There are some possible candidates and knowing the dates for these two addresses might be helpful.

[Steve Clifford @jake_a_loo]

Can you help identify this Lieutenant from the 47th Battalion CEF? I'm helping a family with this #FWW mystery photograph and thought crowdsourcing might generate some leads. More details including an inscription can be found on my blog. Thanks for the RT. https://t.co/CvWy7zgwXr

It was a beautiful evening in Victoria BC for two events honouring those who've served Canada for over 100 years: Remembrance Illuminated at Christ Church Cathedral and a candlelight vigil at the Cenotaph. #LestWeForget. More: https://t.co/2Y8yO48Wki

Hey @Jake_a_loo and other #military detectives. Maybe you can help with this long lasting mystery: 'A hero without a name': Requesting help from Cambridge to solve a 75-year-old mystery https://t.co/VDrwj8Rcty

@aeroplan I'm on hold trying to speak to your representative because I can't manage my upcoming booking (I've been trying for 24 hours). Your phone system indicates there is a computer problem but there are no details on your website or twitter.

[Steve Clifford @jake_a_loo]

@menofworth @ADogcalledDex 18 years 6 months sounds right to me. Perhaps he added a year to his age when he enlisted?

Remembering Marc Edward Berton, a 17 year-old French-born Canadian soldier KIA near Hill 60 on May 30, 1916. I visited his grave in 2016 as part of the #SaanichRemembers project and recently contacted Marc's niece in the USA. https://t.co/D5n13pG1Qg

Check out this FABULOUS video by the @CanadianForces's Combat Camera Team showing footage from Pte Newburn's burial. #allthefeels #FWW #Hill70

[Steve Clifford @jake_a_loo]

@VicGenealogy @CHEK_News @timescolonist Thank you very much for your kind feedback. It's an honour to share their stories and especially rewarding when I have the opportunity to connect with family members as was the case with Marc Edward Berton.

[Dr Sarah Lockyer @S_Lockyer]

#DYK, @CanadianForces soldiers from the BC Regiment were on hand to dress Pte Newburn's casket this afternoon. #FWW #Hill70 #WeRemember

Major Archie MacNaughton served in the #FWW and again in #WW2. He died leading his men in the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. Read more: "New Brunswick's 'quiet' soldier honoured in Heritage Minute" via @CBCNews https://t.co/TFqlQQrdY2
