Morrison MORRISON, JOSEPH HENRY 47, PRIVATE, STRATHCONA’S HORSE Enlisted: Winnipeg Manitoba On: February 10th, 1900 Age: 31 Years Birthplace: Ontario Trade or Calling: Farmer Religion: Methodist Next of Kin: M.G.

Mervyn Mitton Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Mike - an incredible find - and a valuable one from the historical and the financial sides. Belfast was one of the later formal engagements - I thought Strathcona's had returned to Canada before Belfast ? I remember you telling me once before that they actually left later then I was thinking. For it's age I don't think the condition is bad - no more then you would expect for it's age and service. I'm sure it will have a prominent place in your collection. Mervyn
