     Asquith and District Honour Roll:
     "Condy, Albert" of Winnipeg (possibly).
Other comments:
     TENTATIVE IDENTIFICATION: This may be Albert Ernest Condy, 148502 of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, but I have found no evidence of an Asquith connection. He died in California in 1973.
     He received a gunshot wound to his head during the war, and married in 1919 in British Columbia
Analysis:
     There is no other "Albert Condy" in the Soldiers of the First World War database maintained by Library and Archives Canada. There is no service file available for him in the Library and Archives Canada NWMP database which go up to 1904.This is not unexpected based upon his age.^2,3

Canadian Military Service - WWI

     Albert Ernest Condy of Winnipeg began military service on 24 November 1915 at the age of 25 at Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, joining. He was an unmarried farmer with no previous military experience. He was described as being 5' 9" with a ruddy complexion, brown eyes and dark brown hair. On his Attestation (enlistment) papers, he listed his next-of-kin/contact as his father, Joseph Condy Greenock P.O., Ontario. He was assigned regimental number 148502.¹ Albert Ernest Condy ended his military service on 14 March 1919 haing served in France.

End of Military Service section.¹

     He was born in 1875 according to his grave marker²; or, circa 1874 according to a news item about his death since he was said to be 71.³ Alternatively, he may have been born on 1 August 1878 at Banbridge, County Down, Northern Ireland, according to his WWI service file. The older the enlistee, the less I trust the birthdates they provide on their enlistment papers. If they wanted to join up, they may have made sure they were not considered to be too old.¹
     James Cull died between 7 December 1944 and 9 December 1944, in the Lizard Lake district, 20 miles North of Biggar, at Saskatchewan, Canada. He died of exposure. Note that the news item about his death gives his age as 71 which is at varience with his age as stated in his WWI service file.³
     James Cull was buried at Sonningdale Cemetery, Sonningdale, RM of Eagle Creek No. 376, Saskatchewan, Canada.²
     Asquith and District Honour Roll:
     "Cull, James" of Asquith.
Other comments:
     James may have worked for James Stack, Sr. of Asquith prior to the war because in May 1917, Gunner James Cull arranged a special pay remittance of $60 to him. This may have been a loan repayment. For the duration of the war, his pay was remitted to the Union Bank in Asquith which served as his "agent."
     At some point his address was changed to Lizard Lake, but this could have been after the war. A 1922 news item states he returned there for the summer, after "selling out" the previous year and going to the coast.
     A 1944 news item about his death by exposure indicates he moved to Vancouver Island in 1938 and returned to his Lizard Lake farm in 1943. This same article mentioned military service in India, but he did not report it in his WWI Attestation of previous military service, unless the 3rd Mountain Battery, C.F.A. was not identified correctly.^4,3
