     He was born on 22 January 1897 at Blackburn, Lancashire, England.1,2,3,5,6 Alternatively, he may have been born on 22 January 1896 at Blackburn, Lancashire, England, as he declared in his WWI Attestation papers. The 1897 date was also given in the same military service file, and it is supported by his death registration.1 Thomas married Annie Grant on 12 June 1924 at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.7,2
     Thomas Richmond died on 30 December 1965 at Vancouver General Hospital, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, at age 68. For the last 5 1/2 years he had been a watchman for the Vancouver Parks Board.2 The informant on his death registration was his wife, Annie Richmond.2
     Asquith and District Honour Roll:
     "Richmond, Tom" of the Asquith district.
Family Background:
     Thomas was the son of Horace and Mary Alice Richmond. Horace came to the Asquith district before the townsite was surveyed and before the railroad was built. This was in 1904, making him one of the earliest settlers as the district opened up. Horace is briefly mentioned in the Asquith history as holding positions with the school board (1916 & 1917) and as vestryman of St. George's Anglican Church (1907.) His daughter, Lizzie is listed as a teacher at Grasby School ((1916) and Polar Crescent (1917.) When she married in 1921, she was reported to be teaching at the Asquith School. Homestead records show that Horace filed on NW 32-36-9-W3 on 25 Apr 1904. He was likely the H. Richmond who sailed on the "Tunisian" leaving Liverpool and arriving at Halifax (or St. John) on 15 Mar 1904. According to it, he was a mechanic, bound for Regina. This is consistent with his occupation of cycle manufatcturer from the 1901 census. He must have returned to England to get his family, because they arrived together on Jan 11, 1909 at Halifax, bound for Asquith where he was a "farmer."
Other comments:
     In 1917, prior to his conscription, Thomas had bronchitis following having "numerous colds." After going to England, he had frequent bouts of chronic bronchitis. He also suffered several episodes of influenza, the two of which occurred even before his voyage to England. After the war, he farmed with his father near Asquith. He married Annie Grant of Saskatoon in 1924, and they made their residence at Asquith. In about 1930, they moved to British Columbia. I have been unable to locate obituaries that would allow fleshing out their family further.1,8
Canadian Military Service - WWI

     Thomas Richmond of the Asquith district was conscripted on 29 June 1918 at Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, joining the Canadian Engineers in draft 158. He was an unmarried farmer with no previous military experience. He had had his medical examination in Saskatoon on 22 Oct 1917. He was described as being 5' 4" and 130 lbs. with light hair, brown eyes and a fair complexion. On his conscription papers he listed his next-of-kin as his father, Horace Richmond of Asquith. He was assigned regimental number 3353852.1
     On 9 August 1918, at Manitoba Military Hospital, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, he was admitted for influenza and was discharged 10 days later.1
     On 3 September 1918, at Brockville, Ontario, Canada, he was hospitalized with influenza and was discharged 3 days later.1
     On 26 September 1918, at Montréal, Québec, Canada, his unit embarked on "H.M.T. City of Cairo" arriving at Devonport on 12 Oct 1918.1
     On from 11 October 1918 to 23 December 1918, at England, he was hospitalized with influenza, first coming straight off the ship that brought him from Canada and again from 5 Feb 1919 to 5 Mar 1919. The second time they diagnosed him with influenza and tonsillitis.1
     On 23 June 1919, at Southhampton, Hampshire, England, he embarked for Canada aboard the "H.M.T. Mauretania."1 Spr. Thomas Richmond ended military service as part of general demobilization on 6 July 1919 at Toronto, Ontario, Canada, having served in England with the D Wing, C.C.C. of the Canadian Engineers Reserve (Battalion?) (C.E.R.B.)

     He was born on 19 October 1878 at Bassingbourn, Cambridgeshire, England.3 Alternatively, he may have been born on 19 October 1879 at Bassingbourn, Cambridgeshire, England, according to his WWI Attestation paper.1 Edwin married Catherine Julia Maria Cooke on 2 December 1911 at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. . She was a widow and she had five young children.4,5

     Edwin Pack was buried on 17 March 1972 at Mt. View Cemetery, San Bernardino, San Bernardino County, California, USA.7,8
     Asquith and District Honour Roll:
     "Pack, Teddie" of Asquith.
Other comments:
     Edwin/Teddie Pack was farming in the Asquith district when he enlisted in 1915. In Dec 1911, he had married the widow, Julia Jones, the mother of 5 children that became his step-children. Surprisingly, I have been unable to find them in the 1916 and 1921 Canadian census. Edwin had been wounded 3 times during his WWI service, as well as being gassed at least once. It also shows that he had enteric fever in South Africa in 1902. After his 1919 discharge, he returned to Saskatoon where he was a bricklayer. In 1924, the family moved to the Los Angeles area, where Edwin and Julia remained until their deaths.9

Canadian Military Service - WWI

     Edwin Pack began military service on 14 June 1915 at the age of 36 at Sewell Camp (later Camp Hughes), RM of North Cypress, Manitoba, Canada, joining the 53rd Battalion. He was farming, and had previously served 3 1/2 years with the R.A.M.C. (possibly the British Royal Army Medical Corps). He was described as being 5' 10" with brown eyes, dark brown hair and a fair complexion. On his Attestation (enlistment) papers, he listed his next-of-kin/contact as his wife, Julia Pack of Asquith. He was assigned regimental number 441367.10
     On 29 March 1916, at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, his unit embarked on the "S. S. Empress of Britain" arriving at Liverpool, England on 09 Apr 1916.10
     On 9 June 1916, at France, he joined the 2nd Canadian Mounted Rifles (C.M.R.)10
     On 2 October 1916, at or near Fleury, France, in the Somme, he received a shell wound to his left thigh which became septic in the following days. He was hospitalized and not discharged until 05 Dec 1916.10
     On 28 March 1917, he was transferred back to the 2nd CMR and landed in France the next day. In August 1917 at Merricourt his unit was involved in a German gas attack.11
     On 31 October 1917, at France, as part of the Passchendaele offensive, the 11th Canadian Field Artillery reported that he was wounded again. This time it was a shell wound to his left wrist. He was discharged from hospital on 09 Jan 1918 and rejoined the 2nd C.M.R. on the 25th.12
     On 25 August 1918 or 26 August 1918, at Arras, Pas de Calais, France, he received his third wound, a gun shot wound to his right arm that he sustained while with the "1/3 High F.A." He was sent to Etaples and then was invalided to England.13
     On 25 January 1919, at Québec, Québec, Canada, he disembarked from "S.S. Aquitania" and was proceeding to Saskatoon. He was granted leave until 14 Feb 1919.10 Pte. Edwin Pack ended military service as part of general demobilization on 21 February 1919 at Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, and was classified as being medically unfit due to wounds.
