My Dad was born in Leicester England Sept 9 1892 and emigrated to Canada in 1915 on the ship Mauretania. He enlisted in the Canadian Army in September 1915 and was wounded in Ypres France. (Gunshot wounds to right leg and shrapnel wound through the hand.) He was treated in Boulogne France, Folkeston, No 4 Northern General Hospital Lincoln, also Shorncliffe, Etchinghill, Shoreham, Wohingham and Epsom.
The story that first came back to his fiance in Canada was that he had been killed, but this was later corrected. In 1918 he returned to Canada, married, lived in Hamilton Ontario, had seven children (4 girls 3 boys) and many Grandchildren. He subsequently died of a brain tumour in 1962 at the age of 70, his wife died in 1964.
