Uploader's Notes:

Son of Major John Rogers and Hattie Duncan Rogers of Montreal; husband of Janet May Weaver Rogers of 106 Madison Avenue, Montreal, Quebec

This man was recommended for the DCM (not granted) at the battle for Mount Sorrel near Sanctuary Wood in Belgium. This information from the war diaries of the 5th Canadian Mounted Rifles. He was believed to be a sergeant at the time.

Passchendaele (October 1917)

At the battle of Passchendaele, the Regimental Aid Post with Capt. Ireland as Medical Officer, and Lieut. Rogers in charge of Stretcher Bearers was established in a Pill Box near the Advance Battalion Headquarters at Kron Prinz Farm.
Source: Narrative of Operations 29-31 October 1917, 5th CMR War Diary

The deaths of Lieut. Rogers and Capt. Ireland were reported in a subsequent page of the "Narrative of Operations":

11.20 am
Report from Advance Bn. H.Qs., timed 10.30 a.m., that Capt. IRELAND, M.O. and Lieut. ROGERS were killed and only two of Stretcher Bearer party left.

Request made immediately to A.D.S. to send up another M.O. at once. This was quickly responded to.

It was estimated at this time that our casualties (5th CMR) are about 300.
