Can you help add military categories to two profiles?

Question

I have been adding sources to the profiles for this family but need some assistance with getting the right categories for their sons' military service. The lost two sons in the first world war so I want to make sure it is properly noted.

Please lend a hand if you can! Thanks!

Answer 1

The Canadian Expeditionary Forces is a high level category. You'll have to find out their battalions. Then once you find that you can use this page to find the link.

In the meantime, you can place a sticker on the profiles if you like to indicate they were killed:

{{Roll of Honor

|category=Killed in Action, United States of America, World War I 

|image=Killed_in_Action-3.jpg

|country=United States of America

|description=Killed in Action

|war=World War I}}

NOTE: You may need to change World War I to The Great War.

Answer 2

John Brown Coubrough (Coubrough-17) was in the 152nd (Weyburn-Estevan) Infantry Battalion, the 32nd Infantry Battalion and last with the 5th Infantry Battalion when he was killed in action, so I have used the 5th for the categorization. I added this category by adding the Great War template, so you can check and see how I did this on the profile.

For Simon Peter Coubrough (Coubrough-18) you can reuse the same template from his brother's profile and just change the enddate parameter to 2 May 1917.

Thanks so much, Lucy and Steven! I have added the stickers.
