Private William Mansley Riley
My father's uncle left northeastern Ontario for the west to take up land. My father said his parents were surprised when William enlisted.<P>
We still have the Christmas card sent by Emma Riley for Christmas 1918, sent presumably before the news came of Williams death.<P>
The photo is a postcard, apparently done in England.
