RSM. Gilbert Smith
Canadian Expeditionary Force 16th Battalion
My Great Grandfather, Gilbert Smith was I believe, a Regimental Sergeant Major in the 16th Battlion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. He was based at Shornecliffe, Kent, U.K. around 1917.
I've received a birth certificate for my Grandmother who was born in Hastings in 1917 and Gilbert was married to a Lilian Mary Smith (formerly Hayes). The record indicates that the residence of Gilbert at that time was Shorncliffe. It also states that the certificate is 'care of' the Assistant Provost Marshall, Canadian Camp, Shorncliffe.
Can anyone give some info as to whether he was at Shorncliffe or give a contact where I may be able to get information, it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks in anticipation.
