Hi,
I'm not sure if you've obtained a photo yet, but I am wondering if you have found any information about the H Jeffery you make reference to. I'm gathering information about the names on the cenotaph for the Manitoba Historical Society and he's one of only a few remaining for whom I can't find a specific connection to Virden thus confirming the identity.
There are there H. Jeffery's listed on the Virtual Memorial:
http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/memorials/canadian...The only one with a link to Manitoba is Harry Jeffery (service number 81455) who enlisted in Winnipeg. But that doesn't mean that the other two didn't. Or that the spelling of the name is correct on the war memorial. Or that he didn't die in the 1920s after they stopped adding names to the Virtual Memorial for WWI.
Thanks,
