Trying to name Lt. in 176th battalion
 

hi all,
I have recently acquired photo of Lt in 176th battalion.
Can anyone name him?
Or know where or how I might put a name to his image?
There are 9 Lt.s on the embarkation list.
I would really appreciate any help with this
Kind regards
Dan

Any chance of posting an image Dan?

Heres picture

Very nice photo of the officers badges to this Bn.

Here is part of embarkation list for 176th battalion showing the Nine Lts.

Ok so I have found Lt. Edward Fox Thairs.
Not my man. Good image of the officers badges.
Think i should upload his history now I have found him.

Lt. Edward Fox Thairs.

I have also found Lt. Charles Arthur L. WAtts on this forum.
Do not think he is my man either.
7 more to find.

One more
Lt. Samuel Deveuax Woodruff.
Killed in action.

Nice image of officers collar badge. Overlay clearly visible.
Still searching for images of the other Lt. in this battalion.

Ok, thought I would resurrect this thread. Just found a panoramic photo of the 176th battalion. In which I have found my man seated with the other officers at the front.

Having spent some considerable time looking on the web for any references to the other 6 Lts on the embarkation list.
Arthur Elmer Fisher
Harry Pardee Hanan, actually Henry obviously.
Malcolm Brown Maclean.
John Sharpe.
Charles Fletcher Swayze
FRederick Anthony Upper.
The Attestation papers and now fully digitised service record gave a fascinating insight to the futures of men as they went different ways as the 176th was split up for reinforcements.
I could not link any photos to any names though.
It then occurred to me at look on Ancestry being a member.
I have now given a name to a face.!!fantastic.
LT. Arthur Elmer Fisher.

Arthur is the boy second from left at the back. He is still sporting his distinctive moustache in the 1920s when he crosses in the USA. And I believe his brother is standing behind him in the original picture as a trooper in the Mounted Rifles. Having looked up all 5 of his brothers, Wallace born 1897 is the only option. So I have two names to two faces. Excellent.

From his service record.
Arthur Elmer Fisher b.21 Oct 1893. Grimsby Ontario.
He was a banker and Presbyterian. 5ft6ins tall.He is taken on strength to the 176th battalion on 29May1916. Having been with the 26th Regt of Militia.
Having arrived in England with the 176th they are put in the 12th Reserve Battalion. He is the assigned to 124th Battalion in the field. This was a pioneer battalion.
He received a slight gun shot wound to arm in April 1918. And was more severely injured in oct1918 when he fell off a motor cycle. After which he is moved to Canadian Engineers Depot in Seaford England.
Demobilised 27Jan 1919 Toronto.

Now the search to put faces to the othe 5 Lts. Of the 176th. That's gonna be difficult.
