It was during this time that Howard became close to his Auntie Annie Belle, who was also living with her parents. His Auntie became a sort of surrogate parentto him by taking over the mothering role upon his own mother's premature death. She was later listed as his next of kin, even while his own father was alive.As a young man, Howard felt the tug of duty calling him and enlisted with the Canadian Expeditionary Forces during WWI. On 1 February 1916, Howard was sworn in at Waubaushene. When he reported to Midland for his physical examination, 20-yearold Howard was noted as being 5'6" and weighing 145 pounds with a darkcomplexion, grey eyes, and dark brown hair. He reported his religion as being Methodist and his occupation as laborer. Private ARBOUR then became an armorer in the 177th Battalion, 1st Central Ontario Regiment, serving in England and France. On 27 August 1918, Lance Corporal ARBOUR waswounded in action when he was shot in his right forearm. He recovered completely from his injury and returned to service with his unit.
