Pte Kenneth Edmund Hepinstall
Royal Canadian Army Perth Regiment
from:Washago ON
(d.20th Dec 44)
My cousin, Kenneth E Hepinstall served with the Perth Regiment for a short period and my recollection is that he was killed shortly after he was posted to it as a reinforcement.
On enlistment he was enrolled in the RCA but was transferred to the RCIC when the need for infantry reinforcements grew. He is buried in the Villanova Canadian War Cemetery. My wife and I visited his grave in 1963.
