     Asquith and District Honour Roll:
     "Holgate, Colin" of Asquith.
Other comments:
     Colin was farming in the Asquith area when he enlisted in 1916. Apparently those who created the Honour Roll were unaware that in April 1917 he was stricken from the rolls as a deserter. Another Asquith man, Andrew Nodvedt that enlisted the same day also deserted about the same time. Colin's Attestation Paper was witnessed by another future deserter from the area, Werner Bostrom. One has to wonder if they had influenced each other
     From the late 1920's he was an auctioneer in the Windsor area, a business carried on by his son and wife after his death.^3,9
