HAIGHT, C.F.C. / Canadian Corps of Commissionaires", original ribbons, light contact, near extremely fine.
Footnote: Dennis Haight was born on June 4, 1897 in Elgin County, near Aylmer, Ontario. He was a resident of Ford City, Ontario when he signed his Attestation Paper as a Private (1045341) with the 241st Infantry Battalion, on September 18, 1916 in Windsor, Ontario, at the age of 19, naming his next-of-kin as his mother, Ida Haight of Aylmer, stating that he was with an Active Militia, that he was not married and that his trade was that of Shoemaker, his previous employer later being identified as Canadian Lamp Works. While with the 241st Infantry Battalion, he was subjected to a medical examination. In his Medical History of an Invalid, dated April 3, 1917 at Windsor, the doctor noted the flat feet on Haight: "Right foot moderately flat, Left foot flatter. He says he can march five miles without discomfort. Otherwise he is fit." The doctor also noted that Haight had a hernia operation scar on his right side. As the result of having flat feet, the Medical Board declared Haight "Unfit for Infantry" but "Fit for Forestry" and recommended that he be transferred to the Forestry Corps. Two weeks later, Haight was transferred to the 122nd Infantry Battalion on April 15, 1917. The Battalion was raised in the Muskoka District of Ontario with mobilization headquarters at Huntsville under the authority of G.O. 151, December 22, 1915. The Battalion sailed from Halifax, Nova Scotia on June 2, 1917 aboard the S.S. Olympic, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel D.M. Grant with a strength of 26 officers and 686 other ranks, arriving in Liverpool, England on June 9th. In England, the Battalion was absorbed into the Canadian Forestry Corps, with Haight taken on strength at the Canadian Forestry Corps Base Depot at Sunningdale on June 10th and posted to No. 44 Company, Canadian Forestry Corps. He was transferred for overseas service in the French theatre on June 27, 1917, disembarking at Le Havre on the 28th. Haight was "admonished" on December 4, 1917, for being absent without leave from 11 p.m. on December 2nd to 8 p.m. on December 3rd, a total of 21 hours. The following summer, he was admitted to No. 51 General Hospital at Etaples on July 20, 1918, where he was diagnosed with "V.D.G." (venereal disease, gonorrhea). After two months at Etaples, he was transferred to No. 7 Canadian Stationary Hospital at Camiers on September 30th, where he would recuperate for the next three and a half weeks, before being discharged on October 24th and posted to the Canadian General Base Depot. He rejoined the 44th Company on October 30th. Upon the ceasing of hostilities, Haight was posted to the Canadian Forestry Corps Depot at Sunningdale on January 16, 1919. He was subsequently posted to the Canadian Corps Camp Rhyl, on February 11th, then posted to the Canadian Concentration Camp at Kinmel Park, North Wales for return to Canada. He embarked for Canada aboard the S.S. Lapland on March 1, 1919, then posted to the Casualty Company on March 19th. Haight was discharged upon demobilization on March 22, 1919, at No. 1 District Depot in London, Ontario, credited with having served in Canada, England and France, entitled to wear the War Service Badge, Class "A", number 83168. Throughout the war, he had been sending his widowed mother about $5.00 a month, as the oldest son, while his other two brothers were also serving at the front. For his First World War service, he was awarded the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. After the war, he served with the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires, earning him the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires Long Service Medal. Haight died on October 23, 1957, at the age of 60.
