Arnold Kippen was a 20-year-old bank clerk when he signed up in November 1914. He was seriously wounded twice and rose through the ranks before being killed on September 2, 1918. A week later, a cable with news of his death arrived at the Toronto home of his parents, Horace and Elizabeth Kippen. The next day, they received another message that their son, William, had been severely wounded. Their third son, Eric, was a prisoner of war. Both of Arnold’s brothers survived the war.
