The 69th Overseas Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, was formed on July 1st, 1915 by Lieutenant Colonel
J. Adolphe Dansereau in Montréal, Québec. Following training in St. John, New Brunswick, the 69th left for England
in April of 1916. My great uncle, Emery J. Larock, was one of the many of the 69th who were added to battalions already serving
in France and Belgium from reserve battalions. His was the 23rd (Reserve) Battalion.
On 20 September, 1920, the 69th was officially disbanded.

Corporal Oliver Gray, M.M., son of Oliver and Mary of Fredericton, New Brunswick, was most
distinguished for his conduct during the war while serving in the 19th Battalion. He decided to enlist in the CEF with the
