Notes:

as per Newspaper notice on George's Death.

George Asher Hamon enlisted early in the war, and after being in camp for some time contracted pneumonia, his condition at one stage being serious. He recoverd and was discharged, returning home to Milton.
Regaining strength in due time he again sought to enlist, at first was turned down, but later was passed, and sailed for England in mid 1916. The though of being home while men were needed at the front was always tasteful to George Hamon, and he took upon himself the duty he deemed to be his.
He has been called back to make the supreme sacrifice, and though he would not return to us in the flesh his memory will be treasured as one who stood between home and loved ones and an avaricious and relentless enemy seeking to bring our nation under the accursed Prussian heel. To his bereaved parents and brothers and sisters and relatives we extend our deepest sympathy.
