PAID SUPREME SACRIFICE
Son of Former Toronto Pastor Killed at Vimy Ridge
Friends in Toronto have received word of the death in action of Lieut. Everett Fallis, son of Rev. Samuel and Mrs. Fallis, of Calgary, formerly of Toronto, when Rev. Mr. Fallis was pastor at Summerhill Methodist Church, corner of Summerhill and Yonge streets. He joined the Cyclists and had his photograph taken with Lieut. Duncan Robertson, reported wounded, a short time before the battle in which he was killed. His parents were notified of his death on April 17, say that he probably fought at Vimy Ridge.
Transcription of part of an article in the Crag & Canyon, Banff, Alberta, 27 July 1918, pg. 1:
Lieut. Fallis who went over the top with Joe [Woodworth] at the time [Vimy Ridge], was a son of the Rev. S. W. Fallis of the Central Methodist church at Calgary, and this gallant youth was picked off by a German sniper and killed. As a matter of fact Joe was the only one of the bunch who got back to safety. [Joe Woodworth was the first Banff soldier to be awarded the Military Medal. He lost his arm at Vimy Ridge.]
