He received notice that he had been drafted as per the 1917 Service Act and that he was to report to the Military Depot in London, Ontario. He enlisted in the Army (Regular Force) on May 8, 1918 with the 1st Depot Battalion, Western Ontario Regiment. The 1917 Service Act was created to fill the shortage of volunteers. In January 1918, 400,000 letters were sent out. The turnaround time from enlisting and being trained was such that with the war winding down, they were no longer required. He served in Toronto until he was discharged in London on January 14, 1919. Gordon Hahn passed away on January 10, 1983. HALL, Lenold Thomas “Leo” Leo was born on March 9, 1959, in Uxbridge, Ontario, the youngest of eight to Douglas Hall, a WWII Spitfire pilot and his war bride, Margaret Flynn. After secondary school and army cadets, he joined the CAF in 1978, attended RMC and graduated in 1982 with a Bachelor of Engineering Maintenance. He designed and procured the RMC class of ’82 display case located on the third floor of the Sawyer Building in the Engineering and Science Laboratory. The theme reflects the RMC-CMR contribution to Space. He went on to the CF School of Aerospace Technology and Engineering in Camp Borden to finish AERE training. His postings included CFB Edmonton, NDHQ Transport and Helicopters Engineering and Maintenance, CFB Rockliffe, 5 AMU Aircraft Maintenance Lahr, Germany, CFSCE Kingston and CFB Trenton 8 AMS.

Leo retired from the Air Force on July 30, 1995 and his second career took him to Bombardier Aerospace in Montreal where he retired from their Engineering Product Development department in February 2007. His honors and awards include the CD and the SSM-NATO. Leo and his “babe” Kathleen Mary King, a hospital laboratory technician, were married in April 1988 and together they enjoyed skiing, sailing, kayaking, travelling, and in later years renovating their home on the Ottawa River. His great joy was being a mentor to his and Kathleen’s many nieces and nephews and generally being handy and helpful when called upon. Leo passed away unexpectedly on November 21, 2009 at the Ottawa Heart Institute at the age of fifty. He is buried in Uxbridge besides his father, mother, and brother. Leo was a stand-up, loyal, accommodating, loving person and exemplified truth, duty, and valor. We Will Remember Them Ontario Command
