Ted_Green.html

We found this picture on page 64 of Them Days Magazine, Vol.5, No. 4, 1980, the caption of which reads: "Mary (Green) Webb and her brothers Ed and Bob, Seal Islands" The picture is undated. (The picture that appears on this page has been cropped. Mary and Bob are to the right in the original.)

In a different Them Days Magazine there is a reference to a "Barton" Green as being one of the WWI volunteers from Labrador. The Nfld. Regiment nominal rolls do not list either an Edward Green or a Barton Green from Labrador, but we know that list to be incomplete in any case.

We know from genealogical records that Mary Green had brothers Edward Jonathan (Ted) and Robert. We also know of four Barton Greens from that area but none of them are of the right age to have served in WWI.

There are several explanations for these discrepancies: The soldier in the photograph may have been mis-identified, or the wrong name (Barton rather than Ted) may have been added to the Them Days list of WWI veterans when it was being compiled.

NOTE: A recent listing of the RNR nominal roll includes a # 3892, Private Edward J Green of St. Anthony.
