Additional Service Notes

He was a single Roman Catholic labourer, born at St-Cunegonde, Quebec, and living at 232A Roberval Street, Côte St-Paul, Quebec. His brother David Maranda was next of kin. The Medical History Sheet records examination at Montreal on 3 November 1917 and joining on 11 November 1917; the personnel, casualty and pay records consistently use 11 November 1917 as his attestation/enlistment/service-reckons-from date.

The casualty card records taking on strength on 11 November 1917, an AWL entry from 11 November to 1 December 1917 with a 21-day remark, and a later January administrative return/report entry whose exact abbreviation is not sufficiently legible to expand safely. He was struck off strength and discharged on demobilization at Montreal on 7 February 1919 under R.O. 1357, Part II Order No. 39.
