Footnote: Thomas Barclay Calder was born on November 10, 1888 in Rutherglen, Scotland. It is noted in his medical records that he had had scarlet fever, measles, whooping cough and mumps as a child, along with pneumonia at the age of 16, which he "recovered well" from. Calder signed his Attestation Paper as a Private (22846) with the 12th Infantry Battalion, on September 28, 1914, in Quebec City, Quebec, at the age of 25, naming his next-of-kin as his mother, Agnes Calder of Rutherglen, stating the he was with an Active Militia, that he was not married and that his trade was that of Analytical Chemist. His religion was Church of England. The Battalion was raised in Quebec, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island with mobilization headquarters at Camp Valcartier, under the authority of P.C.O. 2067, August 6, 1914. The Battalion sailed October 3, 1914 aboard the S.S. Scotian, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel H.F. McLeod with a strength of 45 officers and 1,028 other ranks. Upon arrival in England, the 12th Battalion was re-designated the 12th Reserve Battalion forming part of the Canadian Training Depot. Calder was later transferred to the 14th Infantry Battalion and was with this unit that he proceeded overseas for service in the French theatre, arriving in France on April 26, 1915. Two weeks after arriving in France, he was transferred to the 13th Infantry Battalion on May 8th. Four weeks after his transfer to the 13th Infantry Battalion, Private Calder was admitted to No. 1 Canadian Field Ambulance with a case of appendicitis on June 4, 1916 and was transferred to No. 17 Casualty Clearing Station the same day. The following day, June 5th, he was admitted to No. 22 General Hospital at Camiers and after a successful procedure to remove the appendix, he was transferred to No. 6 Convalescent Camp at Etaples on June 8th to recuperate. After five days' rest, he was posted to the Canadian Base Depot on June 13th and rejoined his unit on the 18th. Three and a half weeks after rejoining the 13th Infantry Battalion, Private Calder suffered a gun shot wound (shrapnel ball) to his right hip, on July 12, 1916, the bullet lodging in his muscle. He was admitted to No. 2 Canadian Field Ambulance on July 16, 1916 and was transferred to No. 10 Casualty Clearing Station the same day. The following day, July 17th, he was transferred to No. 2 Casualty Clearing Station on the 17th and was invalided to England via St. Denis. Upon arrival in England, he was admitted to Norfolk and Norwich Hospital on July 19, 1916, where he had surgery in order to remove the bullet, his stay in hospital lasting eleven weeks. He was subsequently transferred to the Canadian Convalescent Hospital at Woodcote Park, Epsom on October 2nd, where he would convalesce for the next five and a half weeks, before being discharged on November 10, 1916, and posted to the Canadian Casualty Assembly Centre as "Fit". He was struck off strength to the 1st Quebec Regiment at the Canadian Command Depot on March 10, 1917, then to the Canadian Army Medical Corps on October 21st and placed on command to the Canadian Command Depot on October 27th. He returned to the CAMC Depot on August 20, 1918 and was placed on command to the 3rd Canadian Command Depot at Seaford on August 28th. Now almost fully recovered, he was posted to Ravenscroft Hospital for duty on January 17, 1919, then placed on command at No. 14 Canadian General Hospital (Canadian Army Medical Corps) at Eastbourne, Sussex on the 20th. A medical exam was performed on him at No. 14 Canadian General Hospital on March 28th, the doctor noting that the bullet had been "removed through in an incision on the right side of his abdomen", that the wound was "well healed" and that Calder "walks perfectly" and had "no symptoms". He was struck off strength to the 14th Infantry Battalion, pending return to Canada as of March 30th. Private Thomas Barclay Calderproceeded to Canada on April 14, 1919 and was discharged upon demobilization on April 23, 1919, at Dispersal Station "E", Military District No. 5 in Quebec City, entitled to wear the War Service Badge, Class "A", number 244563. His proposed residence after his discharge was to be Montreal, Quebec.
