Private Richard Harrison
Canadian Army 1st Canadian Mounted Rifles
from:Belfast, Ireland
Richard Harrison was my mothers first husband, they were married in Belfast Ireland on Nov 22nd 1917 while Richard Harrison was on leave. Richard survived the war and came to Canada in 1919 and was discharged at Quebec City. I understand that his unit was gassed and his health was not good on his return to Canada. He died in August of 1924 in Woodbridge Ontario and is buried in Hillcrest Cemetery in that village. I do have a picture of Richard and also a picture of his brother in law Alexander Porter who was killed June 12th 1916 in France.
