Footnotes:
1. William Ferdens Sedgwick was born on July 11, 1890 in Clear Lake, South Dakota. His family later settled in Arcola, Saskatchewan. Sedgwick was a resident of Arcola when he signed his Attestation Paper as a Private (105988) with the 68th Infantry Battalion "Regina Battalion", at the age of 25, on April 6, 1916 in Regina, Saskatchewan, naming his next-of-kin as his father, William Sedgwick, stating that he had no previous military service, that he was not Married, that his religion was Presbyterian and that his trade was that of Farmer. He sailed from Halifax, Nova Scotia on April 28, 1916 aboard the S.S. Olympia, arriving in Liverpool, England on May 8th. Private Sedgwick was transferred to the 5th Infantry Battalion "Western Canada Cavalry" in the French theatre, on June 29, 1916, arriving with his new unit on August 1st. His records indicate he was Killed in Action on either September 26 or 27, 1916, in either France or Belgium, at the age of 26. In his Military Will, dated June 26, 1916, he stated that "In the event of my death, I give the whole of my property and effects to my mother, Della Sedgwick". His mother also received his British War Medal and Memorial Cross, while his father, William, received his Memorial Plaque and Scroll.
2. Hugh Campbell Thomson was born on October 5, 1896 in Glasgow Scotland. His family later immigrated to Canada, settling in Glenburnie, Ontario. Thomson was a resident of Glenburnie when he signed his Attestation Paper as a Private (320855) with the 52nd Infantry Battalion "New Ontario Regiment", at the age of 19, on February 5, 1916 at Kingston, Ontario, naming his next-of-kin as his father, William Thomson (his mother deceased, later changed to his sister, Sarah Thomson of Hamilton), stating that he had no previous military service, that he was not Married, that his religion was Presbyterian and that his trade was that of Farmer. He sailed from Halifax, Nova Scotia on September 18, 1916 aboard the S.S. Olympia, arriving in Liverpool, England on the 25th. He was transferred to the 4th Divisional Ammunition Column on November 1, 1916, then transferred to the 13th Brigade, Ammunition Column, Canadian Railway Troops at the Canadian Depot as a Sapper on February 11, 1917.

It was determined that he had a partial loss of the use of his left leg and a fracture of his left thigh, having his leg set twice while in France. He was invalided to England on March 15th. When it was determined that he was well enough to travel, he was evacuated to Canada, where he was admitted to Queen's Military Hospital in Kingston on October 11, 1917. Private Thompson was discharged from service at Kingston on January 31, 1918. Hugh Campbell Thomson died on August 27, 1971, at the age of 74.
