Uploader's Notes:
Edwin Leonard Meeres' father was Major Horace Meeres. A letter he sent to his father is linked to below.
Red Deer News, 11 July 1917, pg. 1:
Mrs. Meeres received word last week that her son, Edward Meeres1, was wounded. He joined the 187th, and was formerly on the staff of the Imperial Bank and the News Office.
1This was likely an error printed in the paper, but refers to Edwin Meeres.
