He joined the Army at a young age, maybe in 1915, and then went to Regina to train at the RCMP headquarters before proceeding east by train to Ontario. When passing through Brandon, he hid from his aunt and uncle who intended to meet the train and send Guy home because of his age. Guy, Victor Hammond and Harold Gouck went to England on a rather unclean cattle boat, then from there, to Belgium and France. They were not on the front lines but were in charge of caring for the Lord Strathcona Horse Division’s horses, cleaning barns, grooming horses or riding while training. Vic and Guy may have gotten home in 1919 while Harold Houck came later. Guy died in 1989.
