Dear Editor:
There is a grave in Willowgrove Cemetery, Stockport, U.K. where Sgt. Henry Ashworth was buried on Sept. 4, 1917.
He came to Europe with the Canadian Railway Troops and died in Essex but was buried in Stockport because, I believe, that this was his place of birth.
Do any of your readers have any information about Henry Ashworth, who lived with his wife, Rachel at 980 19th Ave., Edmonds, Burnaby?
Does anyone have information about the Canadian Railway Troops who were originally a contingent of 500 men and later 13,000 and I think would have worked on the Canadian Pacific Railway? I am mounting an exhibition in the U.K. and would like to include information about the Canadian Railway Troops and about Henry Ashworth.
I look forward to hearing from you (email: [email protected]).
Kind regards,
Mary James, by email
