- Notes
- Belcher was probably not a member of the 50th Bn. It sounds as though he is someone Ross and Mary know who has died in combat.
Twelve men with the surname Belcher died during WWI and eight of them died before Nov. 19, 1917, when Ross mentions Belcher in his letter. One of these men signed up in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, which is only 144 km from Rush Lake, Saskatchewan, so it is possible that Ross and Mary knew him from when they lived in Rush Lake. His name was Thomas Belcher, his regimental number is 781632, he served with the 128th, and he is buried at the Vimy Memorial.
Does anyone have any more information about Belcher that could confirm whether Thomas Belcher is the person Ross is referring to?
