Note: Gilbert wanted to join the army so that he could fight in World War I. He was only 17 years old and therefore not old enough, so he convinced his mother to change his age to 18.
He joined the 10th Battalion at the Col Light Gardens training camp. While there, he contracted meningitis and died.
