Frederick Charles Pauline & Amy Mona Dudley Flint, 1913

Victoria Daily Times, 26 March 1913, page 21

On Monday morning at 9.30 an interesting wedding was celebrated at St James’ Church, James Bay, when Amy Mona Dudley, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs Flint, of 33 Simcoe Street, became the bride of Mr Frederick Charles Pauline, eldest son of Mr and Mrs Frederick Arthur Pauline, of Foul Bay Road.  Rev JHS Sweet performed the ceremony, which took place in the presence of a number of the relatives and friends of the happy pair, the church being beautifully decorated with Easter lillies, daffodils, ivy, ferns and smilax.  The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a chic tailored costume of grey cloth, with white lace hat trimmed with roses, and a shower bouquet of white carnations.  She was attended by Miss Sybil Sales, who also wore a suite of pale grey, with white hat trimmed with pink roses, and carrying a bouquet of pink carnations.  Mr Harold Beasley acted as best man.  During the service the organist played Mendelssohn’s Wedding March and the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin, the happy pair leaving immediately after the ceremony for Vancouver en route for Detroit, Walkerville and other Eastern points.  On their return they will make their residence in this city.

Frederick Charles Pauline

In trying to figure out Frederick Charles’ military service during the First World War, I went to the Library and Archives of Canada website to see if his service records were available.  He appears in the Imperial Gratuities files, not the service ones.  This means that he served in the British forces, not the Canadian Expeditionary Force.

Name: PAULINE, Frederick C
Regimental Number:  14284-F-29
Reference:  RG9-II-F-10, Finding Aid 9-56, Volume 210
Item Number:  641099
Record Group:  Imperial Gratuities
I checked the National Archives (UK) to see if his service records survived, and they did not.
In the letter from Emma Jane Paulin to his father Frederick Arthur Pauline in 1918 describes a head injury which had him staying at the Dudley Road Military Hospital.  Not sure what happened to injure him, nor what sent him specifically to Dudley.  Good for him as he had family nearby who could visit him, and take care of him after he was released…..
