Jean Longstaff has submitted the following:-

The middle child of shipyard joiner Thomas Logan and his wife Annie, Bernard was born on 11th February 1892 in Sunderland and by the time of the 1911 census he was a miner and still with his family, now living in Beatrice Street, Monkwearmouth. Three years later he was in Canada where he was working as an electrician when he enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force in Indian Head, Saskatchewan on Boxing Day 1914, and he became Trooper 115136 attached to the cavalry draft of the 10th Canadian Mounted Rifles. Based at Camp Hughes in Manitoba, in November 1915 they moved to Portage la Prairie and in May of the following year the CMR found themselves at sea on board the SS Olympic making for Liverpool and an onward posting to camp at Shorncliffe on the south coast.

At Shormcliffe Trooper Logan was transferred to the Royal Canadian Dragoons Reserve Regiment and early in September to the 9th Reserve Battalion. Making out his will in favour of his mother back in Sunderland, Bernard was drafted to the 31st Battalion and joined them in Brigade Reserve at Pozieres, where the battalion was suffering with an outbreak of scarlet fever. Bernard was not affected and soon after the battalion moved to Souchez, where on 14th November both the Germans and British took pot shots at flocks of wild geese flying over the lines. The battalion remained in the Souchez area over Christmas and New Year alternating between the very muddy trenches and time in brigade reserve. By the beginning of April 1917 the battalion commanders were involved in the final arrangements for the offensive that was to take place at Easter. On Sunday the battalion moved to Bois de Alleby where all stores, weapons and tools needed for the attack were issued to the men. After lunch the Chaplain held a service, followed in the evening by a selection of music from the Battalion band, prior to the their moving out to the assembly area for their part in the Canadian Corps attack on Vimy Ridge. Private 115136 Bernard Logan was one of the men killed in action on the night of 9th April 1917.
