    Thanks Sunray,

    I found some of that. I could not find what constituted a Militia unit of that day in Canada. Would it be similar to our State National Guard Units in the US? Or was it strictly a local area authorized to raise a fighting unit during war time. I got a little confused trying to figure the difference out. I liked that it was both Canadian and US marked. And the signature is neat if it was actually done by the US soldier it was issued to in 1917-18,,,,who knows

    The Westmount regiment was formed in September 1914 for "home duty". Subsequently, several battalions where formed from volunteers of 58th for overseas duty.
