The Nominal Roll of the 15th Battalion CEF 1915 can be found here: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~canmil/ww1/cef-rolls.htm Those with the 4th Highlanders are listed, although as my forebearer proves, not all who enlisted with the 48th  were identified as such. He was listen as being from the...

I am a grand nephew of Harold Leigh Shearman, a member of 15 Battalion CEF. I believe he would be considered a deceased member of the 48th Highlanders. I am attaching a picture, in khaki kilt, short jacket, Ross rifle, bayonet and webbing taken at Valcartier by his aunt before embarkation in...
