on The Thiepval Memorial MR. 21. Note: Census documents dated March 1901 indicate that Alicia and her three children had returned to England and were living in Margate. There is no record that her husband was still with her because she is listed as the head of a household, occupation laundry manageress. Her husband was buried in St. Peter and St Pauls cemetery in Lingfield in 1913. Sometime in his twenties John went to Canada where he served in the Royal North-West Mounted Police from Sep 3rd, 1912 to Apr 7th, 1913. The original discharge paper indicates that he purchased his discharge and that his conduct during service was "very good". He held a certificate of proficiency "First Class" in Radiotelegraphy granted to him by the Dept. of Naval Service on 6th October 1913, probably he was a radio operator in Fort William Ontario (now called Thunder Bay).
