Wesex:
He joined the 95th Battalion CEF in Toronto, in Oct 1915, ( lied about his age ) and wound up in the 4th Canadian Machine Gun Battalion , in France, as a Vickers gun crew captain. Survived the war, although wounded 3 times, and on two different occassions, he was the only one out of his crew to not be killed.
If you do a Google on " John Carl Bunting " you will find a tribute website, that I contributed to, put up by the Dominion Institute, here in Canada, with some photos and a short bio, that I wrote about him. He lived to the age of 81, dying in 1983, here in Toronto.
Jim Bunting.
