Broken Canadian group

[Tony]

This is a broken group to a Canadian in the 8th Bn. Manatoba Regt. who was killed on the Somme in March 1916. His mother was from Iowa in the US, his father was born in High Wycombe, England. I'm assuming their son George was Canadian born.

Does anyone know if he would have been entitled to US citizenship as well?

If any of you come across a Victory Medal named to 438033 Pte. G. Neal 8th Bn Canadian Infantry please let me know. The CWGC has him down as A/38033.

A person born in Canada to an American father/mother and a Canadian mother/father would have Canadian citizenship by birth, and may also have US citizenship, depending on certain circumstances (the parents' marital status, date of the child's birth, and whether the US citizen parent has met certain physical presence requirements). If the requirements have been met, then the child would also be a US citizen, and therefore would have dual citizenship.

8 U.S.C. ? 1401, "Nationals and citizens of United States at birth".

Thanks for the info.

At least with a missing VM you know that it won't have been melted down, unlike so many of those missing BWMs.
