Sydney Albert Palmer
Canadian Expeditionary Force 9th Btn Canadian Mounted Rifles

I believe Sydney Albert Palmer to be our grandfather, originally from London who joined the Canadian overseas expeditionary force in 1914/1915. We have his attestation papers and believe he was injured during the war and sent to convalesce in Earsdon, Northumberland a hospital on Earsdon Road. It was here he met our grandmother Mary Bruce Palmer and they married in 1917. Because of his injuries he died a few years after the war, possibly in 1925/1926. What we don't have are discharge papers, pension records etc and would like advice on how to get them. He enlisted in December 1914 in Saskatoon Canada.
