The Canadian Virtual War Memorial, St. Edward’s School Chapel (Wooden Plaque)* and The Cloisters Stone Memorial.* On his wooden Plaque he is shown to have died in the Dardanelles which is clearly incorrect and needs correction. Born 1890 Fort Qu’Appelle, Saskatchewan, Canada, son of a distinguished much decorated Captain who had led the Bedfords in the Boer War. He was a good sportsman at the School, in the Cricket XI 1905, the Rugby Football XV 1905/6 and the Rowing IV and VIII 1905, an athlete and gymnast of high repute. ‘He had a powerful frame which won him distinction chiefly in the gymnasium and in sports and also on the water’ (Chronicle). After leaving the School he returned to his native Canada and worked as a Farrier and Teamster 1907-14. When war broke out he enlisted as a Sergeant in the Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) in August 1914. By May 1915 he was in France as his regiment’s Transport Officer after spending ‘a dreadful winter’ on Salisbury Plain in England. In June 1915 he was seriously wounded by shrapnel leaving one leg shattered, which needed amputation at a Clearing Station. A further operation followed when his other leg was also amputated. He survived for two weeks, then died when ‘a haemorrhage ended his sufferings’. ‘His sufferings were terrible and most bravely endured’ (Chronicle). ‘He won all hearts by this quiet heroism’ (The Hospital Chaplin).
