Hi, I did a bit of searching, but hard to find much on WW2 Canadian Veterans
I have tried before without much luck, but I may have found something.
I tried looking in 1921 Canada census in case R.L. was born by then, but did not find anything.
So then just looked for any Hutton info with Bethany, Manitoba and came across an obit. Ids've put the link below, but the fellows name is
Ross Logan HUTTON and he was born 1924, died 2003 - quite a long obit, but it does say he was in WW2 (lied about his age as he was only 17) and was in the Royal Canadian Engineers 2nd Battalion
The obit says he was born Minnedosa ,Manitoba to Wilbert and Meriam Hutton and I looked for them and they did live in Bethany. Also obit says Ross went to Bethany school. So this seems like a very good possibility for him. AND with the info in the obit I think you could easily find the family. I suspect they would be thrilled to know that you found his time capsule ( I know I would be) and they would hopefully be able to confirm for you if he is the right fellow. :)
Hope he is !! , Carolyn
