looking for info on ww1

[dlatimer]

Not sure if this is the right spot to post but...i‘m looking to find info on where my great great grandfather, Alfred Elgin Read, was posted in World War 1. I have his attestion papers saying that he enlisted in Renfrew, ON on Nov 27, 1916. The papers say, 1st Depot Battalion, 1st C.O.R., 42nd Regt, 240th Overseas Battalion C.E.F. Any help on where to find info would be greatly appreciated.
