I'll get onto the relevant museums to see what information they hold.

Thanks once more for your help.

You will only find a copy of his obit in Accy Library, your local library won't have it, the only other source could be the British Libary which is down in your area.
There is a mistake in the obit which says he enlisted in Sept 1914.
His service number wasn't issued until after Dec 8th 1914.

Retlaw.
