     Asquith and District Honour Roll:
     "Moore, Albert".
Other comments:
     I have not been able to identify which WWI service file relates to him. There was an Albert Moore from Saskatoon that was Killed in Action, but the Asquith Honour Roll does not mention him as a casualty. In turn, his service file does not mention where he worked as a cook. The Saskatchewan Virtual War Memorial does attribure Corman Park as his Saskatchewan rural municiaplity for commemoration, but does not indicate a source for this attribution.2

Other comments:
     Edward Oliver came to Canada from England in about 1906, settling in Québec. In about 1909 he came to the Asquith district. In the 1916 census of the prairie provinces, enumerated about 5 weeks before his enlistment, he was a hired hand on the farm of Walace (sic) F. Souster. In the 1921 census he was liiving on Cory street in Asquith and was listed as a painter with an income of $400 in the previous 12 months. His obituary notes that he was survived by a niece in England
     He falsified his birth year on his Attestation, stating he was born in 1885 rather than 1877, which is documented elsewhere in his service file. He was a small man and in 1918 faced medical issues due to his service. He was downgraded in physical readiness status and was transferred to a labour pool.1
