Served as a stretcher bearer with the 38th Battalion Son of William W. and Amy Sterling Lamb.

Huntington Gleaner October 17, 1918
Private William Sterling Lamb
Stretcher bearer, 38th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, killed in action the end of August. He enlisted just about a year ago, and was soon sent overseas. The deceased was brought up and educated in Valleyfield and, being a lad of outstanding ability, soon won a name for himself in educational circles. Finishing his studies at the academy he entered the college and came through that course with high honors. He entered the teaching profession, and was soon recognized by the Board of Public Instruction as an able teacher and one worthy of a high position. He succeeded in his ambition and was appointed principal of Victoria school, Quebec, the position from which he resigned and offered his services to his country, for which he has sacrificed his life. Private Lamb leaves one sister who was married recently to James Wright, farmer, Valleyfield, and for whom much sympathy is felt.
