NotesHenry John Whitbread, 11, arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, with a group of 395 children en route to Toronto and Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.

On September 8, 1915, Henry John Whitbread enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces (Service Number: 158199; Force: Army; Unit: Canadian Infantry (Western Ontario Regiment); Division: 18th Battalion.) He declared that he was born in London, England; that he was not married; that his next of kin was his mother, Elizabeth Clay, who resided at 2011 Queensland Road, London, England; and that he was a farmer. He was described as 5 foot 5 inches in height; dark complexion; blue eyes; and brown hair. He was a member of the Methodist faith. He had distinguishing marks of a scar on the left shin and a mole over his left buttocks.
