Footnote: William A. Jepps was born on November 18, 1886 in London, England. He had served with the Royal Navy in England before immigrating to Canada. Jepps was with the 72nd Regiment, Seaforth Highlanders when he was transferred to the 29th Infantry Battalion on October 31, 1914. He signed his Attestation Paper as a Private (75244) with the 29th Infantry Battalion "Tobin's Tigers / Vancouver Regiment", on November 16, 1914 in Vancouver, British Columbia, at the age of 29, naming his next-of-kin as his mother, Amy Jepps of Tottenham, England, stating that he belonged to an Active Militia, that he had two years' service with the Royal Navy aboard the training ship HMS Exmouth, that he was not married, that his religion was Church of England and that his trade was that of Painter. The Battalion was raised and mobilized in Vancouver, British Columbia under the authority of G.O. 36, March 15, 1915. The Battalion sailed May 20, 1915 aboard the R.M.S. Missanabie with a strength of 37 officers and 1,090 other ranks under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel H.S. Tobin. After four months' orientation and training in England, the 28th Infantry Battalion left for service in the French theatre, arriving at the Base Depot in France on September 18, 1915. Private Jepps was with his company training on August 2, 1916, when he hurt his ankle. He was initially admitted to No. 4 Canadian Field Ambulance, then to No. 6 Canadian Field Ambulance on the 2nd, before being admitted to No. 5 Canadian Field Ambulance on August 4th, where he was diagnosed with a sprained right ankle, then transferred to No. 2 Divisional Rest Station the same day. Four days later, he was transferred and admitted to the Divisional Rest Station at Mont des Cats on August 8th, where he would remain for the next week, before being discharged and rejoining his unit on the 16th. The ankle had not healed properly, which forced his admission to hospital again, this time to the Divisional Rest Station with No. 12 Canadian Field Ambulance on August 25th. After five days rest and treatment, he was discharged on the 30th and rejoined his unit. Jepps was admitted to No. 3 Canadian General at Boulogne on December 1, 1916, where he was initially diagnosed with "P.U.O." (Pyrexia of Unknown Origin = fever), which was later defined as "Influenza". After twelve days treatment, he was transferred to No. 7 Convalescent Depot at Boulogne on December 13th, then discharged to No. 3 Large Rest Company on December 20th. Jepps left for the 29th Infantry Battalion on January 16, 1917, arriving with them in the field on the 19th and was awarded one Good Conduct Badge on January 28, 1917. He later saw a promotion to Lance Corporal. Jepps was wounded at Fresnoy on May 4, 1917, suffering a severe gun shot wound to his chest. He was initially treated at No. 4 Canadian Field Ambulance, then at No. 12 Canadian Field Ambulance, followed by his admission to No. 22 Casualty Clearing Station at Bruye. He was then transferred and admitted to No. 13 General Hospital at Boulogne on May 5th. O
