Hi Ken
I found your blog while seaching for information on my husband's great uncle Cecil McLean Fulton(who was conscripted - 1st Depot B - E.O. Regt)
Cecil was Reginald's younger brother and they both lived at 94 Cedar Street, Belleville,Ontario when they were conscripted.
I found Reginald's Obituary among some old newspaper clippings. Probably from the "Belleville Intelligencer" Hope this helps with your records.
Sept 21, 1964

Reginald Fulton - pall bearer was son of Cecil Fulton.
Cecil Fulton must have also seen active duty because my husband says that he had a metal plate in his head resulting from war injuries. I have yet to determine where Cecil served and in what Regiment.
Hope this information is helpful to you in your efforts.

Hi Ken
I am a newbie at posting to Blogs, so I am not certain if my first message reached you.
If not will re-post Obit for Reginald H. Fulton who was the brother of my husband's great uncle Cecil Fulton.

If you did receive my first post please be aware that I gave you some misinformation.
I am not certain that Cecil Fulton - brother of Reginald - saw active duty. I had told you that Cecil had sustained a head injury in battle.
In fact it was the brother in law of Cecil Fulton who received head injuries. Cecil and other great uncle married sisters of my husband's grandmother from Nova Scotia.
Hopefully I haven't totally confused you. I am presently researching several of my husband's great uncles who served in WWI and I get a little befuddled keeping everyone on the right branch of the family tree.
Bye for now
