Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry of Almonte, Ontario, who fell at Courcelette in the Battle of the Somme on September 15, 1916, leaving his wife Mary Eleanor (Cotton) Rosamond and four young daughters Kathleen, Norah, Mary and Dorothy.

My sincere condolences to the grandchildren of Lt. Rosamond.
I notice that the Weil families in the UK and Canada are mentioned in his obituary. My grandfather (Ernest Weil) was born in the Birmingham UK and immigrated to Canada in 1904 along with several Weil siblings. Since the Weil family name is not common in Ontario, I wonder if any of Lt. Rosamond's descendants are related to my family.
I can be contacted at [email protected]
