	I believe my great uncles Alex (born 16/9/1895) and Gilbert (born 15/8/1882) Young may have been in the Canadian services during WW1. I do not have access to Canadian records on ancestry and would be grateful for any information anyone could provide. Many thanks. Joyce

	Hi Joyce, It doesn't look like they were CEF at first glance. You can check the records yourself at: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/cef/index-e.html Maureen

	Alviegal, All of the Young brothers were born in or around Glasgow so unfortunately this isn't the same one. Thanks anyway Joyce
