Memorial
Today the 1914-1918 war memorial plaque for Massey Harris Company is located on the outside of their former head office at King Street West, Toronto, Ontario. Pte. Arden Daiken's name was included on the list of men employed at the Verity Plow Co. Ltd., Brantford, Ontario. An article about Pte. Arden Daiken and his twin brother Pte. Arthur Daiken, 772557, appeared in the Brantford Expositor on April 9th, 2007. The article entitled "Remembering Vimy Ridge / Twin brothers from Brantford met mixed fate 90 years ago" was written by Vincent Ball. The article includes information from a letter sent home by Pte. Arthur Daiken after this battle where he wrote about how he was wounded. Shortly afterwards his brother Arden was reported missing at the same battle. The brothers had initially joined the 125th Battalion in Brantford. -
