Watford Overseas Contingent August 1914
The first Canadian contingent sailed for England in October 1914. The Watford men were probably among that group. Watford is a town of only 3600 today in Ontario so this group must have been a significant number of the local men. The Lambton County Museum states that of the twenty-five original men who left in August 1914 that nineteen survived the war. There are more than twenty-five in this group so perhaps not all these men left in August 1914.
