George Douglas Jeffs was born on November 25, 1893 in Havelock, Ontario, Canada. He is my wife's maternal grandfather and the great grandfather of our two sons.
"Doug" Jeffs was a physician as was his father, Dr. William Henry Maines Jeffs. During World War I, Dr. G. Douglas Jeffs was a Captain in the Canadian Army Medical Corps (C.A.M.C.) and was part of the Canadian Over-Seas Expeditionary Force, having served with the 10th Field Ambulance Corp.
