NotesIn 1907, David Black, 12, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of children in a MacPherson party and en route to the Smyly Home, Hespeler, Ontario, Canada. (Brother, Christopher Black, 12, arrived with a group of children en route to Hespeler, Ontario, Canada, in 1909.)

David was originally placed in the Smyly Home in Hespeler, Ontario, Canada. The Smyly sisters of Dublin, Ireland, opened a receiving home for children and placed them out mostly as farm laborers or domestics.

In 1911, David Black, 16, was shown as a labourer to Moses and Mary Syder of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. His date of birth is shown as June 1894 and his immigration year from Ireland as 1907.

On December 28, 1915, at Guelph, Ontario, Canada, David Black, 21, enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces. He declared that he resided at Rural Route No. 3, Dundas, Ontario, Canada; that his next of kin was his brother, Christie Black, who resided at Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada; that his date of birth was June 11, 1894; that he was a farmer; and that he was not married. He was described as 5 foot 2-1/2 inches in height; fresh complexion; blue eyes; brown hair. He was a member of the Church of England. He had one vaccination scar on his left arm and a mole between his eyebrows.

According to M. Kohli:

"[His name] was extracted from a journal kept by a local man who recorded the names of soldiers from Hespeler, Ontario (which is now part of Cambridge, Ontario). It is not know who created the book or why it was created. Some of the names [were] repeated, a few [were] left out, and some [were] there because they had a connection to Hespeler but may not have been living in the town at the time of the war."

The journal shows David Black as being with the Coombe Boys during the war.
