Globe and Mail death notice states that he died in Calgary, Alberta and was given a Military funeral at St. John's Anglican church in York Mills on Monday November 18, 1918.

Prior military service had been with the Governor General's Body Guard and the witness and approver to his Attestation were WW Denison and Delamare - both important family names associated with the GGBG.

LAC is digitizing the WWI sevice records. They shoukd be up to the "P"s soon. Failing that, a researcher might be able to access them now.
