Photo de l'Album de l'University School – Photographe pris en 1910. Il était étudiant à l'University School, situé au Saanich, sur l'ile de Vancouver, C.B. entre 1909 et 1912. En mémoire de Sous-lieutenant Reginald Waring Lindsay Crawford qui est mort le 13 juillet, 1916. De l'Album de l'University School album "The Blach and Red", Novembre 1916. "2nd Lieutenant R. W. L. Crawford, R.F.A. We deeply regret to chronicle the death of Lieut. Crawford. He was wounded during an attack on some German trenches and village beyond. His Colonel and he lay without aid being able to reach them. A Doctor at last crawled out to them and rendered 'first aid'. Later gangrene set in, and poor Crawford had to have his leg amputated. He died on a hospital barge on July 13th, and was buried at Abbeville Cemetery. His Colonel, Lieut. Col. W. A. Short, writes of him : 'I should be glad if you would say from me how much the Brigade feels the loss of so gallant a young man. His devotion to duty, which caused his wound, in front of a German village (till then believed impregnable), was no surprise to his brother Officers.'"
