I posted an earlier message about my family, but I forget my other Great-Uncle Wilhelm Yach.
I don't know if he was born in Germany but his father was an immigrant from there (his mother was Swedish) Anyway, when Wilhelm went to join up in Ottawa, he was told his name just wouldn't do and was changed on the spot to
'William York' a good British name.
Great-uncle Bill survived the war and went on to become a film projectionist.
