Pte. Herbert Mash
Canadian Expeditionary Force 195th (City of Regina) Btn.
from:Regina, Saskatchewan
Herbert Mash was born in England in 1889 and emigrated to Canada in 1912. His Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force attestation paper is dated 29th March 1916. He sailed for England sometime in November 1916. On 11 November 1916 the 195th was absorbed into the 32nd Reserve Battalion. Reserve battalions provided replacements for those men who had been injured or killed in action, so Herbert could have ended up fighting anywhere in France or Flanders. According to one site I looked at, it is possible that he fought at or near Vimy Ridge, but I have not been able to confirm this. Herbert survived the war and died in 1962 in Vancouver.
