- User Comments
- In January 2023, Allan Miller stated the following via email: "I want to point out that Maj Stacey was no longer a member of the CEF. He could have been there as still listed as an officer of the 25th Regiment and authorized to be in uniform. Watson never returned to Canada and was demobilized in the UK. Stacey would perhaps return to St Thomas and close his business. He deceased in the UK as well as his son and wife".
