Canadian Military Service

     Cecil Heneary Gatchell was conscripted on 3 January 1918 at Kingston, Frontenac County, Ontario, Canada. He joined the 1st Depot Battalion East Ontario Regiment.1 Cecil Henry Gatchell ended his military service on 16 September 1919 at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada,
End of Military Service section.1

     The following article appeared in the Bowmanville, Ontario The Canadian Statesman, 21 August 1930 :
Garage Explosion With Fatal Effects
     Cecil Gatchell Burned To Death - - Hately's Garage and Five Autos Destroyed By Fire
     An explosion of unknown origin occurred Wednesday night shortly before 10 o'clock in Hately's Garage which resulted in the burning to death of Cecil Gatchell, mechanic, and the complete destruction by fire of the garage and its contents including four or five automobiles and one truck.
     The blast from the explosion could be distinctly felt in the buildings along King St. which brought people rushing to the street. Flames in the rear of the Royal Bank already could be seen leaping skyward and completely enveloped the garage almost instantaneously.
     It was learned that W. J. Challis, agent for Dodge and Plymouth cars, W. J. Bagnell, merchant. and Cecil Gatchell, motor mechanic, were conversing just outside the garage at the time of the explosion which threw them into the street. Mr. Challis had just locked the garage door and they were about to leave for their homes. In some inexplainable manner Gatchell was blown back into the garage by the explosion.
     Ross McKnight and Dave Tordiff who were nearby attempted to extricate Gatchell from the building who was apparently caught in the floor which had fallen to the cellar. Although they were able to grab his coat they were forced to release their hold being driven from the building by the raging flames.
     So sudden was the explosion no one is able to give any satisfactory explanation as to the cause of the fatal catastrophe. Some advance the idea that a leak from an acetylene plant became ignited, but so far there is no proof to verify this theory or any other. Mr. Challis escaped with a slight bruise to one of his arms while Mr. Bagnell received cut and bruises. Both men suffered from shock.
     A fire alarm was immediately sent in and when the brigade arrived they directed streams to save the adjoining buildings as the garage was a complete wreck. As soon as they subsided the flames in the garage efforts were made to find the body of Gatchell whose charred and unrecognizable remains were located among the debris after an hour's search. The unfortunate victim leaves a wife and two small children.
     John Hately, owner of the garage, in company with Dr. John Spencer, is out of town on a fishing trip in north Hastings and cannot be located.
     Dr. V. H. Storey, coroner, has ordered an inquest.5

     The following account of the funeral of Cecil Henry Gatchell appeared in the Bowmanville, Ontario The Canadian Statesman, on 28 August 1930 :
EXPLOSION VICTIM BURIED
     Funeral of Cecil H. Gatchell Largely Attended Friday Afternoon

Proceeding overseas with that unit he was debarred from service in France on account of eye trouble. He was married in England in 1918 to Bessie Cooper of Oxfordshire, and upon his return to Canada in 1919 settled in this community, where his cheery disposition soon made and held many friends.
     Being deeply interested in all things mechanical, his occupation naturally turned to automobiles, and, it was in that business, as mechanic at Hately's garage, he became so popularly known. He also for some years drove the mail route between Bowmanville and Enniskillen.

In addition to many friends and relatives from a distance, representatives of five Orange Lodges, Bowmanvile, Orono, Pontypool, Clarke and Blackstock, attended the funeral.
The service was conducted by Rev. R. J. Shires, rector of St. John's Anglican Church, assisted by Rev. D. W. Best. pastor of St. Paul's United Church.
     At Bowmanville Cemetery members of the local order of the Orange Lodge took charge of the burial service. Pall bearers were Messrs. Henry Thompson and Herb. Hooey of Blackstock, A. Brookham, W. Irwin, T. Hayes and H. Wakelin, Bowmanville. The flower bearers were members of the Purple Guards Lodge of Bowmanville.
