Title A name given to the resource Grandville Collymore Description An account of the resource Grandville (sometimes spelt "Granville") Collymore was born on February 14th, 1895, in Granada to parents, Isidore and Alexander Collymore. His father passed away in St. Madeliene Village, Trinidad sometime before his enlistment (Separation Allowance Declaration). He also had a sister, Ilucy, who was seven years younger (Separation Allowance Declaration). Grandville worked as a car builder in Redmans Village, St. Thomas for some unspecified length of time until the onset of The Great War (Separation and Assigned Pay Branch Papers, Medical Examination Certificate). As his mother was disabled and unable to work (Separation Allowance Declaration), she was dependent on the money he made. At the age of 21, Grandville traveled to Truro, Nova Scotia to enlist in the 2nd Construction Battalion. After being approved for service, Grandville was sent off to England on the 4th of April, 1917 (Activity Report). From there, he was sent to France for duties (Activity Report), the specifics of which are unclear. Presumably, Grandville performed all tasks as expected, as there are no records of discipline. Grandville returned to Canada in perfect health (Discharge Medical Examination Papers) after being struck off strength on the 25th of January, 1919 (Activity Report). With the war over, demobilization had him discharged on the 15th of February, 1919 (Discharge Papers). The last record of Grandville's intended settling location was New Glasgow, Nova Scotia (Proceedings on Discharge Documents).
