The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada (Princess Louise’s), is a Highland infantry unit of the Canadian Forces Army Reserve. The infantry is the main fighting branch of the Canadian Forces, and is the backbone of the army. The Regiment was gazetted in 1903 as the 91st Regiment Canadian Highlanders.I haven’t been able to locate Arthur on the 1911 Canadian Census, but I believe he was still living in Hamilton at the time. On April 7, 1914, Arthur and his brother, Charles disembarked the S.S. Arabic, which travelled from Liverpool to Boston, Massachusetts, USA. His final destination was Hamilton, Ontario. Although no earlier record has been uncovered, this record indicates that Arthur was living in Hamilton prior to this trip, and had already met his future wife. His stated intention on the documentation is to visit with Samuel Moore, his future father-in-law, at 463 John Street in Hamilton, Ontario (the house is no longer there).
