He was born in London, but immigrated to the U.S. when he was 1. His
family settled in New York. Interesting idea about the Canadian Army
though.

My take...

Since he was born in London, I suspect that he was a Private in the
Canadian Army for 5 years. The web site,
http://www.regiments.org/regiments/na-canada/lists/cargxrefn.htm shows
that there were 3, possibly 4, units designated 13th during his time
frame. The 13th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Forces (CEF), 13th
Royal Regiment, and 13th Scottish Light Dragoons. Possibly included is
13th Canadian Mounted Rifles, CEF.

Good luck.

RE: Private P.A. vs. R.A.

The "P" in Private is a different stroke than the first letter of PA vs.
RA. The stroke looks more like in line 2, the street address, which I
read as more likely Richard Ave. as opposed to Pichard Ave.

Now for multiple guess. I'll put in a "?" where I decline to guess the
letter....

13th ?acK?NY or 13th ?acK?KY

The character after acK almost looks like it was a "Y" and then the
writer scribbled out the left upward branch of the "Y". But then it
might be a pixel resolution problem. Maybe it's supposed to be a "4"

Good luck,
Jim

Hello all. I have a problem. LOL. Who doesn't, with genealogy. I
have found my Great Grandfather's WWI Registration card on Ancestry.com,
but guess what? I can read some of it. I can't make out what line 11
says. I can see Private, and P.A? I think that's supposed to be R.A.
for regular army, but I can't be sure. Then I see 5 years, but I can't
make out anything after the 13th. Anybody want to look at this record
and see what you see?

Would greatly appreciate some help on this. I want to see if I can
order the record from NARA, but I need his previous unit.
