thankyou for all the info on george sayles troops , i did not have any of that ,just his papers from ottowa, and he was in france and did get shot and lost the t ips of 2 fingers due to that, he never married and in 1958 went back to the isle of man and lived with his sister margaret who had married william frederick kermode.if you do go to the archives i would appreciate you looking at the directories if you have the time , sometimes he went by george benjamin greggor sayle i guess he put in his mothers maiden name which was greggor , his mother was eleanor greggor and she married thomas acheson then claudius sayle but she shows as atkinson on her 2nd marriage but we all know how the spelling of last names changed . you can reach me at newtake@pathcom.com
