B74146 Pte Doherty, Samuel enlisted on 25 April 1940. He was sent for training at No. 2 Inf (Rifle) Training Centre – 48th Highrs Depot. He was SOS the Training Centre, effective 14 July 1940 to proceed overseas to the 1st Battalion 48th Highlanders of Canada.
On arrival in England, he would have been placed in the Holding Unit, as a 48th Highlander, awaiting a vacancy in the battalion. We did not find him in records beyond those dates. Either that is one of the gaps in our records or in the UK he transferred to a different unit. His family believe he served some time in India. (More research required.)
