KILLED ON ACTIVE SERVICE

Shorten, Albert George Sgt

Wow, Thank you.
Very grateful.

Oh how wonderful to see a photo of this very brave man safc.

found by googling his name

Hope it is correct to add to this,
Looking for his arrival in Canada from England as Ancestry tree's seem to have differences and i can not find it.

Maybe he arrived as a serviceman in which case those records would be private for security at that time
Troop movements wouldn't be advertised

This record also has a lovely poem written by Rebecca Shorten. Do you know who she is?

He's on a few trees on Ancestry, all saying that he was born in Canada.

Yes,
She was my Gt. Aunt.

My Confusion,
His father Joseph arrived Canada 1907,
Married in Canada 1921,
Albert born Canada 1923.
Many Thanks.

Could this be his mother?
