The Sherrens have an exemplary war record. Four of William D 's sons served overseas:— P. Clark , George E ., J. Stephen , and William D. When the 26th Battalion was recruited for World War I, Clark who was a member of the staff of the Bank of Nova Scotia in St. John, returned to Charlottetown , where he recruited a Company, and escorted them to St. John. He left with that Battalion as Lieutenant for overseas on October 30, 1915. Late in 1915, while on patrol duty in France, he was wounded by a bullet through the knee. He returned to England where he entered a London Hospital. At this point it is interesting to note that Lieutenant Sherren had the opportunity of meeting a distinguished specialist in surgery by the name of Dr. James Sherren , who was a direct descendant of James and Mary Sherren, thus linking him with the Crapaud Sherrens of the present day. This famous Doctor was Knighted by King George V while Lieut. Sherren was still in England . On recovering he joined the Royal Air Force, serving with that unit until the end of the war. He was awarded the , No¬ vember 25, 1916, for descending to within five hundred feet and success¬ fully bombing an enemy ammunition train. He was awarded a Bar on June 4, 1917, and mentioned in dispatches on several occasions. He was granted a permanent Commission in the Royal Air Force in 1919, when he resigned from the Canadian Expeditionary Force. At the same time he was gazetted as a Major in the reserve of Officers of the Canadian Militia. For flying services in the of India, between 1921 and 1924, he was awarded the General Service Medal with Clasp. Later he was stationed at the R.A.F. Depot at Uxbridge and the Home Aircraft Depot at Henslow. In 1924 he married Joyce Tilden- Smith. Their family consisted of three sons and one daughter::— Jack, Michael, Richard and Jean. Wing Commander Sherren met his death in the King's Cup Air Race at Scarborough, England on September 10, 1937. He was buried with full military honors in Ipswich Cemetery, England . Mrs. Sherren is now Chairman of the Felixstowe Urban District Council, where she resides. George E . who held a position in the Royal Bank of Canada at Charlottetown , enlisted in the 2nd. Canadian Seige Battery for overseas service and left Charlottetown with the Battery in October, 1915. He saw much action in France and Belgium; was severely wounded at Paschendale in 1917, and discharged from Camp Hill Military Hospital in 1919. He served as Provincial Secretary of the Canadian Legion, B.E.S.L. for many years. On retirement he was awarded the Honorary Officer's Meritorious Badge of Service. At the outbreak of World War II he had much to do with the recruiting of the Prince Edward Island Co. of the Veteran's Guard of Canada . He was commissioned as an officer in the 17th. Recon¬ naissance Regiment Reserve Army, qualified as Captain, and after de¬ mobilization, was placed on the Reserve of Officers.
