The March 1918 Nominal Roll for the 2nd Bn. CMG Corps shows Lt. Sacks as Signalling Officer, a position he remained in for the rest of his time at the front, until March 1919.  He was awarded the Military Cross on 3 October 1918, a month later, the Nominal Roll shows him on leave.

Russell Saint was born on 29 November 1897 at Bradford, Ontario.  He was a student when he enlisted at 1452 Dundas Street, Toronto, Ontario on 21 July 1915, naming his next-of-kin as his mother Mary Russell, of Bradford, Ontario.

The War Diary shows that he was awarded a Military Medal on 12 March 1918, although incorrectly showing his initial as "J".  This was corrected in a later listing of these awards, dated January 1919.

The War Diary describes his actions on 8 August 1918, during the Battle of Amiens, thus: "The advance of 'J' Battery was ... spectacular.  During the early stages of the attack they suffered heavy casualties, but pressing forward attacked the defending strongpoints with great vigour.  Captain J.A. SALISBURY, in charge, aided only by his Headquarters captured two German Machine Guns, with one Officer and ten men, two of his Signallers being wounded in closing in.  They manned these guns and turned them on another strongpoint situate to a flank which was a thorn in the side of the Infantry attack in that region, putting it out of action ... Lieut. BUSH sprained his ankle during the advance, but continued to the objective and remained with his crews until evening, when he had to be evacuated ... Three Guns of this Battery were destroyed during the advance."  He and his battery were also involved in the Battle of Arras, between 26 and 28 August.

The September 1918 Nominal Roll shows Lt. Salisbury on leave, and on 24 of that month he was awarded the Military Cross.  By October, he appears to have been promoted to Captain.  By mid-January 1919, he had transferred to being O.C. of "K" Battery, where he remained until the end of March.

Lieut. A.J. Sampson is shown as being in "D" Battery of No. 1 Company in the Nominal Rolls for May and June 1918.  In a report of the actions of No.1 Company during the Battle of Amiens on 8 August 1918, the following extract refers: "At 9.00 p.m. 7/8th August under Orders of the G.O.C., 5th Canadian Infantry Brigade they moved forward to Assembly Positions in Front of BOIS L'ABBE.  The Batteries advanced as follows :- ... "D" Battery Centre Support ... Lieut SAMPSON and 3 Other Ranks of "D" Battery were wounded by Machine Gun fire during the advance from WIENCOURT forward."

Sansom, of Stanley, New Brunswick, as next-of-kin.  He went overseas as a machine-gun instructor, but did not get to France until August 1916. The first mention of Major E.W.

When Donald Fraser joined the 6th Bde CMG Coy. in late 1916, he made the following notes concerning his crew-mates in his diary (The Journal of Private Fraser, ed. Reginald H. Roy, publ. 1998, CEF Books): "... a crowded dug-out is a great medium for an introduction to one's comrades ... Harry Stevenson [sic], another B.C. man, a transfer from, I think, the 54th Battalion.  Had seen service in South Africa in the Boer War, but was not destined to see the end of this one."

Private Harry Stephenson died on 23 August 1917 of wounds received a couple of days earlier during the Battle of Lens.  He was buried at the Etaples Military Cemetery (Grave Ref. XXII.Q.11).  Donald Fraser recounts the events of 21 August: "Our section was unlucky; a shell exploded and mortally wounded Sgt. McGirr, badly wounding Harry Stevenson ... Word was sent down to our position, which adjoined the communication trench, for four stretcher bearers to carry Harry Stevenson out.  This was the second call on our gun crew for assistance ... McCormick, Jackson, Nick and I responded to the call ... The whole idea was that as soon as Harry Stevenson was picked up and taken away, the gun crews would retire as we were surrounded ... A council of action was held and in a few minutes it was decided that, as soon as possible, two with a stretcher would run to an old German dug-out about fifty yards away where Harry Stevenson lay grievously wounded and pick him up and bring him in.  Bud Willox and Elwood volunteered for the job.  Both were husky, resolute fellows.  In a moment or two the place became enveloped in a fog of smoke and brick dust caused by exploding shells and the two dashed out with the stretcher and in a few minutes reappeared with Harry who was absolutely all in.  After that it was decided that McCormick and Jackson would lead off with the stretcher and fifty yards would be followed by Nick and myself as relief stretcher bearers and later on one by one of the crews would beat it out.  Jackson and McCormick grabbed the strecher and away they went, then Nick.  When I reached the entrance to the trench, I turned round, waved to those behind and was gone.  After a long, arduous spell with many squeaks and narrow shaves and the lives almost scared out of us, we reached the dressing station.  One has to go through such an experience to really understand what it is to carry a wounded man through a double bombardment and without any supporting straps ... Before long Nick and I had to relieve the other two.  After several exchanges Nick's fingers lost their grip entirely and he dropped his end of the stretcher shaking up Harry badly.  The three of us handled the situation for the rest of the way ... If we had delayed our departure from the outpost a few minutes longer, I am afraid Stevenson's fate would have been sealed as he would have been abandoned.  A few days later information reached us that Harry died at Etaples ... After turning Harry over to the Red Cross, we retired to our cellar and were given a tot of rum.  Never did rum taste so good."

The War Diary for this day, merely states: "During the attack, mobile guns in forward positions moved forward & took up new positions and prepared for any counter-attack ..."

Sutherland.  He originally enlisted in the Army Medical Corps (A.M.C.) at Halifax, Nova Scotia on 9 November 1915.  At the time of his enlistment he had been a medical student for four years, served in the C.O.S.C. at McGill University, and was a Lieutenant in the 78th Pictou (Militia) Regiment.  At this time his rank was shown as Sergeant.  He listed his father, of New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, as next-of-kin.  He was later attested as a Lieutenant into the Canadian Army Medical Corps on 1 August 1917 at Halifax, Nova Scotia, having previously served with the Army Medical Corps at #7 Stationary Hospital.  He was a physician and living at New Glasgow at the time of his attestation.  He again listed his father, also of New Glasgow, as next-of-kin.

Captain C.G. Sutherland first appears in the 2nd Battalion CMG Corps War Diary as Medical Officer in November 1918, and he remained in this position until the end of January 1919.

John Sutherland was born on 25 October 1890 at Brora, Sutherlandshire, Scotland, son of Robert Sutherland.  When he enlisted in the 27th Battalion at Winnipeg, Manitoba on 5 November 1914, he was an active member of the 79th Cameron Highlanders of Canada, a militia regiment, and was working as a lineman.  He gave his next-of-kin as his father, then of 665 Langside Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Private J. Sutherland was "severely" wounded on 25 May 1918, although a later list of casualties compiled for the month of May gives the date of the event as 27 May.  Given the numerous other errors in the list, the former date seems more likely.

Private R.D. Sutherland was wounded on 28 August 1918, during the Battle of Arras.

George Sutton was born on 28 May 1890 at Fredericton, New Brunswick, son of Charles Sutton.  He enlisted in the 166th Battallion (Nova Scotia Rifles) at Truro, Nova Scotia on 22 April 1916, at which time he was unmarried and working as a machinist at Fredericton.  He listed his father, also of Fredericton, as next-of-kin.  Included in the list of identifying marks on his attestation paper was a tattoo on his right arm, described thus: "Cross. Kneeling female figure. Scroll, 'In memory of mother' above cross. Clasped hands & two hearts."  Presumably his mother was deceased by this time.

Private G. Sutton was wounded on 6 September 1918.  He was detached to the 26th Battalion, Unit Group No. 3 "C" St. John on 25 March 1919, for the purpose of demobilisation.

Lieut. A.R. Switzer is shown as being in "J" Battery of No. 3 Company in the April 1918 Nominal Roll of the 2nd Battalion CMG Corps, attached from the 19th (Canadian Infantry) Battalion.  He does not reappear in the War Diaries, and probably returned to his original battalion shortly after.

Corporal A. Switzer was detached to 21st Canadian Battalion Unit Group 12, "H" Kingston, Ontario on 25 March 1918, for the purpose of demobilization.
