Sgt. Daniel emigrated to Canada around 1907 and worked for Mr Tedstone before joining the Borden condensery as a baker. He left Huntingdon around 1913, starting his own business in Cowansville. He enlisted in the 148th Battalion, in January 1916 and went to England as a drill instructor. Sgt. Daniel was not satisfied in a non-combat position and joined the 42nd Battalion as a Private.
