     The following analysis is from my personal research and reflects my attempts to consolidate information from different sources.
This is not the John Sutherland whose obituary appears in the 08 Apr 1929 issue of the Star-Phoenix. That individual was a veteran of the Boer War, but no mention is made of WWI, or of Asquith.

The death of John L. Sutherland, a CN engineer from North Battleford, was reported in the 05 Jun 1936 Star-Phoenix. It was reported that he was a Veteran, but I have been unable to identify his service file.

There are 11 service files for John Sutherland from Saskatchewan, but noe resided near Asquith or Saskatoon.2,3,4
