1460 Private Charles Frederick Kells, 19th Regiment, drowned on 15 August 1914
near the Niagara Street bridge. He was first noticed to be absent when a helmet was
seen floating in the canal near Lock 9, but dragging of the canal that evening was
unsuccessful and it was not until the next morning that his body was recovered. There
was no indication of foul play and an inquest attributed his death to an accident. He is
