Hey Captain, I'm still looking at my great-great-uncle's page on Veteran's Affairs and trying to piece together his life in the war:

http://www.vac-acc.gc.ca/remembers/s...asualty=535038.

It says he left Canada with the 33rd Battalion as a sargeant, and then it says he "reverted to go to France" and ended up serving and dying with the 26th Battalion. What does that mean?

Also, neither of the clippings say where he died... is there a way to find out where the 26th Battalion was on August 28, 1918?

I'd like to get a sense of the final years of his life, what battles his battalion participated in and the kind of stuff he did.
