According to a Toronto Star article dated April 12, 1917, Wansbrough came from a "...fighting family, four brothers being in the service and a fifth having been rejected for physical reasons. Two of the Wansbrough brothers hold the rank of Major, one is a Captain and one a Sergeant.". Their father was an English Methodist minister, and their widowed mother lived at Catford, near London.
