His casualty form explicitly records farmer's leave under R.O. 882. A demobilization notice dated 26 Jan 1919 ordered him to present by 31 Jan; the formal receipt/removal document records his removal from the CEF rolls at Montreal on 1 Feb 1919. The farmer's-leave date is not stated in the surviving file.
