These are his Canadian records, unlike UK they are online and free and intact!
https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discov...?IdNumber=6153
On the RHS are his 2 pages of attestation papers, so he joined a Canadian regiment, he was not seconded.
In the middle of the page is the link to his service records which shows he signed up there.
Why, well who knows?
regards
Robert
Thanks for the pointer, will take a look.

I suspected it was William T. Naming Annie as NoK indicated possible widowhood, which fitted a 1911 Census find for Annie and 1903 death for a William T., Rye registration district.
