Photos | Herbert Driver - Family Photo - 1915 Photograph estimated to have been taken in the late summer of 1915. William, the youngest, was born in January 1915 and Herbert relocated to Camp Sewell in Manitoba on July 1, 2015 before travelling to England during the war in November. |
Documents | Wedding Certificate - Lenore Driver Two points of interest in this document: 1) Lenore's age being 17. On the date of the marriage, January 18, 1935, Lenore was shy of her 15th birthday. Her age accords with the Census record of 1921 with her mother Eunice in Winnipeg, Manitoba as being 1 year old in 1920. 2) The name of her father Herbert Thomas Driver. Herbert had 3 children with Eunice before WWI. While in England, he met Gladys Killner. Herbert returned to Canada from the war in February/March 1919 and Gladys followed in October 1919. The two moved to British Columbia/Alberta with Herbert's three eldest kids from his marriage with Eunice and he and Gladys had three more. Lenore's conception date is the summer of 1919 which means, I say, the documents demonstrate he reconnected with his ex-wife while waiting for Gladys to move from England. Lenore's last name in the Census records are Galloway and I have been unable to find any records of her father being the purported Galloway. | |
Herbert Driver - Assigned Pay 2 (AP2) The record is notable because it started December 31, 1917 and it makes the following references: * a notation dated March 26, 1918 is written above the words that appear to read “authy S.B.” where to the left the words Eunice Driver and the word wife are scratched off and replaced by Mrs. Jane Driver and it is noted below her name as the Children’s Guardian. The address for Eunice is noted as 528 Avenue K North, Saskatoon, SK. The date of March 26, 1918 is interesting because it is 2 days before Herbert attends for treatment for gonnorhea while in Saskatoon on furlogh. * the words Mrs. Eunice Driver amd wife are struck out and replaced under the words “Change of Address” to include Jane Driver and a notation dated June 8, 1918 includes Jane Driver’s address of 528 Avenue K North, Saskatoon, SK. * the body of the message includes a notation for April that reads “Cancelled per change in assignee”. | ||
Herbert Driver - Assigned Pay (AP1) Notation dated December 1, 1915 changes address from Coy Avenue address to 528 Avenue G South for Eunice Driver (wife). | ||
Herbert Driver - Attestation Papers (Att.) Attended Sewell, Manitoba and received regimental number 114564. He was placed in the C.M.R. 9th Regiment which was broken up in England ad used to form, predominantly the 1st and 5th Regiments of the C.M.R. Herbert, ultimately did not join another C.M.R. regiment. It is likely he traveled to Sewell with George Dransfield, also from Nutana in Saskatoon who registered immediately before him in line. Attests to his ability and willingness to be a member of expedition force at 31 years ad 3 month of age. Notes he resided at 703 Seventh Street, Nutana, Saskatoon and previously was employed as a steam engineer. | ||
Herbert Driver - Canadian Convalescent Hospital - Admission and Discharge Cards (CCH) Record notes that all 15 months of service at home and not on the front lines.

Herbert Driver - Casualty Form - CF1 Particularizes his transfers and reassignments. Of note, prior to joining the war he was a Steam Engineer which may have influenced the decision as to why he was assigned to the Canadian Armed Service Corps from the 9th Regiment of the Canadian Mounted Rifles rather than be assigned, as most from the 9th were, to the front lines through the 1st and 5th Regiments of the C.M.R. Document details his transfers while at war. | ||
