He was also in the Drummond Convalescent Hospital in Montreal after being taken there on the 11/10/1918 suffering from influenza. Pneumonia developed and Malcolm died of natural causes on the 22/10/1918. He had enlisted in the 4th Battalion Canadian Garrison Regiment on the 26/08/1918. Malcolm was originally with the 5th Battalion Canadian Mounted Rifles (110501) who set sail for battle on the 18/07/1915 landing in France on the 02/10/1915. See photos for Malcolm's Attestation papers. There are 3 sets of Attestation papers as Malcolm was discharged twice with wounds. After enlisting on the 10/02/1915 Malcolm spent 7 months in France before he was discharged after a wound he had on his hip when aged 15 opened up again. He was treated at St. John's Ambulance Brigade on the 28/01/1916 in Etaples, then Bevan Military Hospital, Sandgate, Folkstone, Kent on the 26/02/1916 until 23/03/1916 before returning to Canada aboard the S.S.

He was wounded by gunshot wound to the head and both knees on the 04/08/1917. His wounds healed but Malcolm suffered again from his hip and also his lungs and was discharged again on the 12/04/1918. According to his final Attestation papers on the 26/08/1918 Malcolm was found to be "fit for service in Canada only". Malcolm gives a different Date of Birth on each Attestation paper (12/08/1891,12/08/1892 and 12/08/1893). His real date of birth is the 12/08/1891. He is also remembered in the Canadian First World War Book of Remembrance (see photo). Malcolm is also listed on the Vimy Memorial even though he died and is buried in Montreal. I've also added a photo of myself at the Vimy Memorial.
