George Heron enlisted in the Great European War in May of 1915, and died "somewhere near the French/Belgian border” during the Battle of Ypres in 1916 at 52 years old.

Originally from Lacombe, Alberta, Private Clyde Gladwin Kent was the uncle of current Canadian M.P., the Honourable Peter Kent. Clyde died on the last day of the Passchendaele battle, November 10th, 1917, just one year and a day before the armistice.

Jim served as an Artillery Officer through the battles of Regina Trench, Vimy Ridge, Arleux, Fresnoy, La Coulotte, Avion, Hill 70 and Passchendaele. He served continuously, except for 9 days leave. 

In the bloodshed and chaos that is the battlefields of the First World War, hundreds of thousands of young Canadian men sign up to fight for their country overseas — but there's one who sticks out from the crowd. His bravery and fearlessness are legendary. His fellow soldiers call him Peggy.
