Footnote: George Robertson Gibson was born on April 27, 1892 in Wroxeter, Ontario. He signed his CEF Attestation Paper as a Private (71260) with the 27th Infantry Battalion "City of Winnipeg Regiment", on October 25, 1914, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, at the age of 22, naming his next-of-kin as Thomas Gibson of Winnipeg, that he was with an Active Militia, the 79th Cameron Highlanders of Canada, that he was Single and that his trade was that of Lineman. The Battalion was raised in Ontario and Manitoba under the authority of G.O. 36, March 15, 1915 and sailed for England on May 17, 1915 aboard the S.S. Carpathia, under the command of Lieutanant-Colonel J.R. Snider with a strength of 33 officers and 1,039 other ranks. Gibson was admitted to Moore Barracks Hospital at Shorncliffe on August 17, 1915, where he was examined by a Captain (doctor) in the Canadian Army Medical Corps. The doctor noted in his records that Gibson had had a cough for ten days, the cough "troublesome chiefly at night. Three days later he had a dull pain in the right infra-clavicular region. This has persisted to date. It is aggravated by the cough. His appetite was good till 3 days ago - since then it has been poor - Bowels have not moved for three days. Three days he began to shiver & feel chilly, later was quite hot." His patient was complaining of headache, dull pain in the right side of his chest in front, poor appetite and constipation on the 18th, the doctor noting that Gibson had a case of the Mumps in 1911. Gibson was declared "seriously ill" with pneumonia on the 20th, however, by the 30th, he was "out of danger". One week later, he was transferred to the Canadian Military Hospital at Shorncliffe on September 6th, where he would recuperated for the next two weeks, before returning to duty on September 21st, rejoining his unit. He was to be Lance Corporal on October 15, 1915, before being transferred to the 11tth Reserve Battalion on November 1, 1915, embarked Southampton, England on the 1st, arriving in France on the 2nd at the Canadian Base Depot No. 19 Camp at Rouelles.

Three months later, he was admitted to No. 1 Canadian Field Ambulance on July 25, 1916, with an infection in his right thumb, then discharged to duty onAugust 10th. The Summer of 1917 was a busy one for Gibson, as he was appointed Lance Corporal on May 1st, then attended the Corps School on May 13th, granted one Good Conduct Stripe on June 25th and promoted to Sergeant on August 15th. In a letter addressed to the Officer Commanding the 8th Infantry Battalion, 1st Canadian Division, received from the Assistant Adjutant-General, Canadian Section at General Headquarters, 3rd Echelon, dated October 30, 1917, the A.A.G. was looking for "statements of evidence", to confirm Gibson's injury (sprained ankle of April 8, 1916), as they had no details on file. He attended another course from October 28 to November 24, 1917. In the rank of Sergeant, Gibson was awarded the Military Medal, as announced in the Fifth Supplement to the London Gazette 30389 of Friday, November 16, 1917, on Monday, November 19, 1917, page 11976. CITATION: For conspicuous Gallantry and exceptions services rendered by personal reconnaissance on August 12 1917. From ZERO HOUR until the time the Battalion was relieved he continually made personal reconnaissance, exposing himself without personal regard to extremely reverse sniping and artillery fire.
