Lt. Col. Dr. Edward William Kidd
Canadian Army No. 3 AMC Depot Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps
from:Trenton, Ontario
Dr. Edward William Kidd was a 60 year old physician, who was working in Trenton, Ontario up until July 15, 1915 when he decided to help out overseas during WW1. Edward graduated from Queens University in Kingston, Ontario. Although he was quite old to be volunteering for war activity, he joined the No. 7 Canadian Hospital Queens. His military records indicate that he had served in the Canadian Militia 25 years as as Medical Officer of the 16th Regiment and the 4th, although there is no other reference to this in our family history. (He was the Mayor of Trenton for several years).
Our family has an original photo of The No. 7 Canadian General Hospital Queens - the same one as on your website.
