I highly recommend this compelling article in Active History. It follows Daniyal Elahi and Harris Elahi, two dedicated cadets with the Royal Canadian Army Cadets (337 Queen’s York Rangers in Toronto), as they uncover the forgotten story of Pte. Hasan Amat, a Great War casualty.
What makes this piece truly stand out is what happens after the archival file was closed. The cadets took their findings a step further, beautifully bringing to light the vital and often overlooked contributions of religious minorities in Canada’s military history.
Thank you for flagging this John. And I’ve now subscribed to Active History.
Looks interesting…will mark it to read later. My husband might also find it interesting.
Still too easy to be invisible. Pleased that Private Amat has been found. Gratitude to his researchers.
