You can start here to get his ww1 service records. (make sure you adress your request to the 'document reproduction section' and ask explicitly for the entier record.

The Canadian Depatrment of Veteran's affairs can track down his WW2 record (but expect to wait about 6 months).

Thanks for the additional info Adam and MG. Im away from home right now and I need to get some more info before I can proceed further. I'll let you know how it pans out

UPDATE*

Actually the wife or her mother can't imagine how we got a hold of this cap badge, but i appears to have belonged to my wifes Grandfather on her Mother's Side. He served in WW1 and returned safely.

Found his Draft Papers on that site ... They were quite excited to know about the find

*Interesting Fact ... he lied about his age*
