Hours and such for last week:

Tuesday: Microfilm and editing themes
Wednesday: Esquimalt Archives in the morning and some research I had to do for theme edits
Thursday: microfilm
Friday: editing.

Thanks for your patience this week as I wasn't able to answer questions too quickly because my dad was in town. Back to normal this week!

Jeremy, some names for you:

Arthur Douglas Crease: famed Yacht Club member and Victoria social elite, member of St. Mary's in Oak Bay, and Lieutenant with the 88th in France 1916-1918. Lots of letters home from him to his brother Lindley.

Lindley Crease: Arthur's brother, an older gentleman who stayed home during the war, important member of the Union Club and Christ Church Cathedral, a lawyer by trade who was also an MLA after the war. Plenty of documents in the BC Archives from friends overseas, his brother, and things from Victoria. Helen Crease could also have enough information, she has letters and church documentation from the era as well.

Joe Bayley: Canadian Amateur Lightweight Boxing Champion from Vic West and Esquimalt who toured the world during the doing challenge fights. Newspaper articles and Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame info.

G.H. Andrews: Chaplain with the 48th (I think) and rector at St. Mary's in Oak Bay. Photos, secondary source history from the church, flags and a plaque in the Church. He had served 25 years in British forces before the war.

Another potential is Francis L. Gull, died in France, but all I have is letters from him to Lindley Crease. I will keep my eyes open for others in the coming week as I visit the Union Club and continue reading.
