WW1 CFA

[John Nayduk]

A friend of mine is trying to research his great uncle's service in World War 1.  The fellow served in the CFA.  He joined in Toronto, Ontario on October 1st, 1917.  My friend would like to know where to look for information relating to his great uncle's service, the battery he'd have been in, where they fought, the whole ball of wax.  He has the fellow's medals with his service number.
Can anyone help?

This may be a good starting point for him.
