David John Buck was born in Great Yarmouth, Suffolk, on 12 January 1890, and having emigrated to Canada attested for the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force at Vernon, B.C., on 24 August 1915. He served with the 29th Battalion, Canadian Infantry, during the Great War on the Western Front from 13 October 1916, and was wounded by shrapnel on 6 November 1917. Returning to Canada at the end of the War, he was demobilised on 21 March 1919.
