Walter Davis Pidgeon grew up in East Saint John, New Brunswick. After graduating from Saint John High School, he felt compelled to join the war effort and dropped out of the University of New Brunswick to enlist. While at Camp Petawawa in Ontario he was caught between two gun carriages and severely injured. He spent almost a year and half in hospital where at one time or another he also contracted pleurisy and pneumonia. But the accident kept him away from the killing fields of France and in 1919 he married a girl he had met and fallen in love with in high school, Edna Pickles. Read more about Walter Pidgeon. |
