My Grandfather, William Davey, was born in Ipswich, Suffolk in 1897 and came to Canada as a Homechild in 1912 where he was placed on a farm in Walkerton Ontario. At the outbreak of WW1 he enlisted with the Canadian Over-Seas Expeditionary Force on 10th of October 1916. He was assigned to the Canadian Army Medical Corp and sent to Camp Borden for training then shipped to England. After a brief time at the Moore Barracks, No. 11 General Hospital, he was transferred to Brighton and served at No.10 General Hospital where he remained for the duration of the war. He was discharged from the army on Aug 10, 1919 and returned to Canada.
