Footnote: James Faulkner was born on October 30, 1896 in Belfast, Ireland and later immigrated to Canada. He was a resident of Hamilton, Ontario when he signed his Attestation Paper as a Private (174275) with the 86th Infantry Battalion "86th Machine Gun Battalion", on September 3, 1915 in Hamilton, at the age of 18, naming his next-of-kin as his mother, Sarah Faulkner of Hamilton, stating that he was with an Active Militia, that he was not married, that his religion was Presbyterian and that his trade was that of Carriage Painter. The Battalion was raised in Southern Ontario with mobilization headquarters at Hamilton, Ontario under the authority of G.O. 151, December 22, 1915. The Battalion sailed from Halifax, Nova Scotia aboard the S.S. Adriatic, on May 19, 1916 under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel W.W. Stewart with a strength of 36 officers and 1,072 other ranks, arriving in Liverpool, England on May 29th. After five months training in England, Private Faulkner was transferred to the 3rd Infantry Battalion for overseas service in the French theatre on October 21, 1916, arriving at the Canadian Base Depot in France on October 22nd. He left for his new unit on the 23rd and arrived with them in the field on the 28th.
The following Spring, he suffered a gun shot (shrapnel) wound to his right thigh and head on May 3, 1917.
