Hello: On my grandfather's WW1 attestation paper for previous military experience it states; 5 years 10th Battery Canadian Field Artillrery 2 years 67th Regiment Sussex Company. One suggestion is that the latter part refers to the 67th Regiment Carleton Light Infantry and hence the RNBR. This would cover the period between 1907-1914. Is this a valid supposition, and if so , are there any surviving records to access? Thankyou, Hercules.

The Canadian artillery underwent a re-organization in England, and the 7th Field Battery, CFA, from St Catharines was re-numbered the 10th Field Battery and assigned to the 3rd Artillery Brigade before going to France.
After years of searching, I have come to the conclusion that there are no extant War Diaries, either at LAC or with the current 10 Battery, 56 Field Regiment. This seems true for almost all Field Batteries.
