He was just 16 years old at the time but he passed himself off as 18, giving a birth date of 12 October 1897. His occupation was glove maker and next of kin was his widowed mother Margaret. After training in Manitoba over the summer the 144th Battalion headed overseas that fall, embarking from Halifax on the SS Olympic on 18 September and arriving at Liverpool about a week later. On 13 January 1917 Ernest was drafted to a front line unit, the 44th Battalion, and sent to France. The battalion was in the 10th Infantry Brigade, 4th Canadian Division, and he joined them in the field in early February. In April 1917 the Canadians captured Vimy Ridge then spent several months holding the new front line and taking part in further operations in the Vimy area. In July the Canadian Corps was ordered to capture the city of Lens but General Currie instead supported a plan to take the high ground to the north of Lens. The Canadians began training for what would be the Battle of Hill 70 (15-25 August 1917). At the time soldiers were required to be 19 years old before serving in a front line unit. It was learned that Ernest was a minor and he was “withdrawn from firing line” on or about 24 August. He was sent to the 4th Canadian Infantry Base Depot, to be retained there until 12 June 1918 when he turned 19 years old. Starting in September 1917 Ernest attended the 1st Army School. In March 1918 he had two weeks leave in the UK and in April and May he spent five weeks at No. 51 General Hospital in Étaples. He was discharged to duty on 19 May and he returned to 1st Army School. On 8 November he was transferred to the Canadian Corps Reinforcement Camp and three days later the Armistice ended hostilities on the Western Front. Ernest was back in England in January 1919 and he served with the Manitoba Regiment Depot for three months. He sailed for Canada in mid-April on the SS Adriatic, arriving in Halifax about a week later. He was discharged on demobilization on 24 April in Winnipeg. By Kenora Great War Project
