Footnote: Frank Dillon was born on May 15, 1893 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He signed his CEF Attestation Paper as a Private (446499) with the 56th Infantry Battalion "Calgary Battalion", on May 3, 1915 in Calgary, Alberta, at the age of 22, naming his next-of-kin as Mary Sandbrook of Winnipeg, Manitoba, as his father was deceased, the address later changed to Brandon, Manitoba, stating that he has no previous military service, that he was not married and that his trade was that of Weaver. The Battalion was raised and mobilized in Calgary, Alberta under the authority of G.O. 86, July 1, 1915. The Battalion embarked Halifax, Nova Scotia on March 23, 1916 aboard the S.S. Baltic, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel W.C.G. Armstrong with a strength of 40 officers and 1,070 other ranks, arriving in England on April 9th. He is acknowledged in his records as having been married to Mabel Dillon of Grenfell, Saskatchewan. Four and half weeks after his arrival in England, Dillon was transferred to the 50th Infantry Battalion "Calgary Regiment" on May 12, 1916, and forfeited three days' pay for his first case of "drunkenness" on June 19, 1916. Three months after having been transferred to the 50th Infantry Battalion, he embarked for France on August 10, 1916, arriving in Le Havre on the 11th. He ran afoul of the authorities, as he was sentenced on August 16, 1916, forfeiting five days' pay for being Absent Without Leave from 9:30 pm on August 9th to 6:00 am on August 10th. Dillon incurred his first major injury, admitted to No. 11 Field Ambulance suffering from a shrapnel (gun shot) wound to his left forearm, on September 12, 1916. The following day, he was transferred to No. 8 Casualty Clearing Station, where he was treated for the next month before being discharged to duty on October 11th. Two weeks later, he was admitted to No. 54 Field Ambulance, where the doctor diagnosed him with "I.C.T. (inflammation of the connecting tissue) in his left foot, on October 23, 1916. He was transferred to No. 90 Field Ambulance on the 25th, where he received additional treatment, before returning to duty on the 28th. He is documented as having been with 10th C.J.B. Signals on September 9, 1917. Dillon was in combat again and for a second time, suffered shrapnel (gun shot) wounds, this time to the right side of his face, neck and wrist on October 23, 1917. He was admitted to No. 3 Canadian Field Ambulance on October 25, 1917, then transferred to No. 54 General Hospital at Boulogne on the 26th, where he would be treated for the next three weeks, before being transferred for recuperation to No. 7 Convalescent Depot at Boulogne on November 16th. He was discharged to Base Details on November 18th, then posted to the Canadian Base Depot on November 22nd, discharged to No. 3 Rest Camp Marlboro, then posted to the Canadian Corps Reinforcement Camp on December 4, 1917, rejoining his unit on the 8th. It wasn't until May 29, 1918 that he officially rejoined the 50th Infantry Battalion in the field. On June 13, 1918, he was sentenced to seven days' loss of pay, as the result of having untidy quarters and missing rifle duty. Dillon suffered his third major injury, as he was "Gassed" (mustard gas) on November 2, 1918, the initial treatment done at No. 13 Canadian Field Ambulance. He was transferred to No. 23 Casualty Clearing Station on the 3rd, then admitted to No. 4 General Hospital at Camiers on November 4th. After ten days, he was transferred to No. 6 Convalescent Depot at Etaples on the 14th for two weeks, before seeing another transfer, this time to No. 10 Convalescent Depot at Ecault on November 28th. Two weeks later, he was posted to the Canadian Corps Base Depot on December 13th, before being invalided to England and posted to the Alberta Regimental Depot at Bramshott on January 9, 1919. Five days later, he was posted to the 21st Reserve Battalion on the 14th. He was taken on strength at the Canadian Concentration Camp at Kinmel Park, North Wales for return to Canada, on January 20, 1919, embarking Liverpool, England aboard His Majesty's Troop Ship Canada, on March 24, 1919.

In his Military Will, dated May 18, 1916, he stated that "In the event of my death on my death, I give the whole of my effects to my wife, Mrs. Frank Dillon, Hanna, Alberta, Canada." but the Will was of course, never executed.
