Notes
a. Note:   His birth in Pembroke indicates that the family settled in Pembroke after the Cochrane fire for a time (see note for elder sister Anita). Apparently his father tried farming for a bit but was unimpressed. After Romeo's birth in 1919, the family returned to Chapleau and his father acquired the lumber mill in Mobert, making railroad ties. After the mill folded about 1930, the family relocated to Fort William, but had little income. Ray lived with Yvonne to help mother make ends meet. He went to Fort William Collegiate with his brother, Romeo. He began his working life as an appliance salesman at Marshall Wells furniture and appliance store in Port Arthur. He enlisted in the Cdn army (Regular) on 22 Sep 1939 in Fort William and went to Camp Aldershot in Nova Scotia for initial training. On 18 Dec 1939 he departed Halifax for England. He served as a medic with 4th Field Ambulance in and around Aldershot (another Camp Aldershot, but this one was in England), and Brighton, on England's south coast, until spring 1943. He rose to the rank of Staff Sergeant in the Medical Corps, marrying in the interim. He was sent back to Canada in the spring of 1943 for officer training at Gordon Head near Victoria, BC (the University of Victoria is currently on the site) and later in Shilo, Manitoba. He returned to England in Sep 1943 as a 2nd lieutenant (general list infantry). On 26 Jul 1944, he was assigned from the general list to the Canadian Scottish Regiment and embarked with them for France 31 Jul. He was re-assigned to the South Saskatchewan Regiment on 8 Aug 1944 and saw action in the battle for Falaise 10-18 Aug. He was killed in action 24 Aug, one of 2 casualties in the regiment that day near Brionne, about halfway between Falaise and Rouen. Apparently he was on a recce and sunlight reflecting off his glasses gave him away and provided a target for a sniper.
b. Note:   MI2130
Note:   (Medical):Appendectomy in 1937. Diagnosed in 1937 with slight amblyopia of both eyes; hence, he wore glasses most of the time. Otherwise, believed to be in sufficiently good health to manage a demanding military routine.
c. Note:   DI2130
Note:   Killed in action with 13 Bn, South Saskatchewan Regiment while on a reconnaissance patrol after a series of battles to take Falaise and close the 'Falaise gap'.
