Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "John Hornby" in English language version.
When World War I broke out, Hornby, then thirty-three, joined the Canadian army. Soon after he was transferred to the English Army, promoted to lieutenant, made a sniper, and then evacuated to London with a German bullet through his breast and the Military Cross for bravery around his neck.
Hornby had a small but adequate income from some investments back in England so he didn't need to work and since Onoway was, back in 1904, on the edge of the civilized world there was lots of wilderness to explore.
