- Morris Stanley Boehm was born at Bertie Township, Welland County, Canada on Dec. 14, 1874. He was a real estate agent in Toronto before serving in the Canadian Army during WWI. In his later life, he researched and authored a manuscript on his Boehm ancestry.
- President of United Empire Loyalists’ Association of Canada (1925 – 26). From the Toronto Branch. Ancestors came from Palatine to Pennsylvania then as United Empire Loyalists to Ontario.
- In spite of his Teutonic name, the Major is very much of an Englishman, and deservedly proud of the fact that he is the fifth of his line to hold the King’s commission. He was in business in Ottawa, Canada when the war broke out, an officer of militia. He joined the 169th Battalion of Ontario and spent some
months in arduous recruiting and training troops for his regiment and was then sent to France in second in command. - After active service he was chosen by his Government to take charge of a photographic exhibit of actual scenes of Canadian fighting at the front. “The purpose of this exhibit,” explained the Major, “is to show our people, at home, what the boys are actually doing, to give them a better idea of the situation in France, and the opportunity for helping the war Memorial Fund. This fund is unique in its purpose, aiming to establish some sort of memorials to our men in various Canadian cities, after the war.’’
