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
