In 1913, my grandfather, Charles Mould, at the age of 14 was sent from England to live in Wadena, Saskatchewan. The story I heard was that he had been "shipped off the the colonies" for stealing a loaf of bread. But I have no idea of the truth of that.
I just read the book "Listen to the Child" by Elizabeth Howard. Could this have been a story of my grandfather's life? Have no idea...
In 1914, he enlisted in the Army and fought in WWI. After the war, his parents and entire family emigrated to Canada and settled in the Smithers area of BC. I know what happened to the family after that. We've had wonderful family reunions.
