History
Wilfrid Notman was the grandson of William Notman, founder of the famous Montreal photographic studio in which his father, William McFarlane Notman, was a partner. He enlisted in the Canadian Field Artillery in 1914, citing “clerk” as his occupation. Lieutenant Notman was sent overseas with the 3rd Canadian Division of the Light Trench Mortar Battery. He was killed in action during the Battle of Ypres in 1916 and awarded the Memorial Cross.
