    Just wondering how you determined this might be Major Ross Hilliard Anderson. The reason that I am asking is this might be my dad's grandpa?
  • Michael Day said:
    It is always difficult to be absolutely certain about identifications, but I think that I based this one simply on the basic information provided by the Imperial War Museum. Rank, initials, surname, and unit name are not always sufficient to identify someone unambiguously, but in this particular case the details did seem to fit with the information about Major Anderson provided by Library and Archives Canada. The cap badge is definitely that of the 109th Battalion, so there would logically be a link with Victoria and Haliburton. It seems as if the 109th Bn. sailed to England in July 1916, but that members of the battalion were mostly used to reinforce other CEF units: cefresearch.ca/matrix/Army%20Corps/Divisions/Reorganized%...
