WO100/287p232 (2nd Royal Canadians) contains this entry for John Donald Mackay
The roll initially indicated the clasps CC, OFS and Tr but the note says 'wrote for return of OFS, 15 February 1905'. The Wepener clasp is then ticked to be added.
This is the only known Wepener clasp named to a Canadian unit and is surely a roll error.
