Can anyone tell me, please, on which day, exactly, Landon was born, on what date he retired, and possibly give me a date and place of death?
Is anyone also able to tell me, please, where CFS was located at the time Landon was there from January-July 1916?
Any help on these queries, or any additional information, which I do not have, would be most appreciated.
Thanks and regards
Steve
