Burial/memorial information
Son of John J. Sifton, of Wallacetown, Ontario. In civilian life, Lance Sergeant Sifton had been a farmer.
<P>An extract from The London Gazette, dated 8th June, 1917, records the following:<P>
For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty. During the attack in enemy trenches Sjt. Sifton's company was held up by machine gun fire which inflicted many casualties. Having located the gun he charged it single-handed, killing all the crew. A small enemy party advanced down the trench, but he succeeded keeping these off till our men had gained the position. In carrying out this gallant act he was killed, but his conspicuous valour undoubtedly saved many lives and contributed largely to the success of the operation.<P> 1914-15 Star<BR>British War Medal<BR> Victory Medal.
