    Notes 
    • Excerpt from "Illustrated History of the West/Woodland Family" by John Kemp, 2005

      Garland enlisted on June 18, 1915, along with his brother Stanley, in the 2nd contingent. They fought in the Gallipoli campaign in Turkey, at the Dardanelles, then moved to Egypt, then on to France to the Western Front.
      Garland was wounded, shot in the leg in France and was shipped to Scotland to recover. It is believed he returned to active duty and joined the CEF forces until 1917. He returned to St. John's after this point, met and married Amelia Woodland.
