Canadian Military Service - WWI

     Charles Willoughby MacSorley of R.R.#1, Asquith was conscripted on 6 June 1918 at Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, joining the 1st Depot Battalion, Saskatchewan Regiment in the 83rd draft. He was an unmarried farmer with no previous military experience. He had had his medical examination in Saskatoon 20 Oct 1917. He was described as being 5' 8" with a fresh complexion, hazel eyes and dark hair. On his conscription papers he listed his next-of-kin as his father, John MacSorley of R.R.#1, Asquith. He was assigned regimental number 277083. Note that the LAC index incorrectly gives his serial number as 2770883, which may cause younot to find his service file.1
     On 28 July 1918, at Montréal, Québec, Canada, his unit embarked on "H.M.T. Cassandra" arriving at Liverpool, England on 15 Aug 1918.1
     On 18 July 1919, he embarked on the "H.M.T.S. Winifredian". Note that on one payroll record it is noted he embarked for Canada on 28 Jul 1919 and , arrived in Canada on 05 Aug 1919. However, he was discharged in Regina on the 3rd, so this appears to be inccorrect.7 Pte. Charles Willoughby MacSorley ended military service as part of general demobilization on 3 August 1919 at Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada,
End of WWI Military Service section.1

     In the obituary of Thomas MacSorley who died 1 December 1955, his brother, Charles MacSorley, of New Westminster, BC, was listed as a survivor.8
