Talented in sports, especially skiing, Lee Strathy graduated from McGill University with a Bachelor of Science in 1914 and received his certification in 1915 as lieutenant in the Canadian Officer Training Corps. He was appointed to the 26th Battery, but at the time that he was wounded on the front, he was with the 7th Battery of the 2nd Brigade of Canadian Field Artillery. He received the Military Cross for “conspicuous gallantry in action.” In 1920, according to the McGill News, he was connected with the staff of Canadian General Electric Company in Peterborough, Ontario.
