Robert Lee Warwick, WWI Soldier

My grandmother, Constance Warwick McGill had a younger brother, Robert Lee Warwick, that fought in WWI with the Canadian forces.

In 1914, Robert Lee Warwick enlisted in the U. S. Army where he served three years with the Coast Artillery Corp. 5th Company. Warwick then joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force at Toronto, Canada and was sent to France with the Canadian Army. Robert Lee Warwick served through World War I and received his discharge June 29, 1919. He came home broken in health and after a few years entered the Fort Supply hospital in Fort Supply, Oklahoma.

The image on the right is a worn copy of his discharge papers from the Canadian Forces. See the backside - CLICK HERE. This Clipping is a letter from the King for Warwick's service in the Canadian forces and signed by King George V. We also have an old photo of Robert Warwick's Costal Artillery Corp group that we will include in next week's newsletter. We only wish we knew what Robert Warwick looked like back then. We never really knew him.   |  View or Add Comments (2 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
