My grandfather, Michael Thomas Myles was a member of 255th Battalion. The only information I have been able to find is his application to Canadian Over-Seas Expeditionary Force. I would love to find out where he served. I think france/Belgium but can’t find anything to confirm this.
Hi there, I am looking for any photos or info on Frederick Buchanan McMillan who could quite possibly be in the Regimental group photo seen above. Thank you
Thanks for checking, the info I gave had some margin of error. Just Fred B. McMillan perhaps. He returned from overseas as a Cpl and would in theory be in the 255th Bn contingent. Regimental Number 1096029
My great,great grandfather is Harry Hind! Do you happen to have information, that would assist my family to learn about a man, who risked everything for his country!
The link to the Nominal Roll appears to be broken. I would really like to see this roll if somebody could fix or give another source to this as I cannot seem to find it elsewhere. Thanks.

Ken – I’m afraid we have nothing related to him in our database.

Ooops – we’ll fix that shortly but in the meantime you should be able to access it here: https://qormuseum.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/255th-bn-nominal-roll.pdf
