in a Verdun sector. A month or so after the Armistice he was taken

only partially convalescent when he left France in May, 1919, on
the troopship "DeKalb." He succumbed to lobar-pneumonia during
the voyage. His military service included six months of training at

and died of disease in France on November 25, 1918. His father,

Dr. Harry Dunlop. who died of wounds on November 2, 1918,
was at one time in active practice in Duluth, associated with Dr.

outbreak of the war in 1914 drew him to Canada, where, in 1914, he
enlisted in the Canadian Army. He was commissioned and assigned
to the Medical Department, and sent overseas. Eventually he became
captain, and passed through the long, dark, and dangerous
years of vigil with the Canadian Expeditionary Forces, his death
coming only nine days before the Armistice ended the strain. A
