     Introductory Overview:
     William Burton Dougan is not included in the Asquith and District Honour Roll for WWI.
Other comments:
     Burton was the third of the Dougan sons to serve. The Asquith history states that he served in WWI with the R.C.A.F. but I have been unable to locate a service record. The Royal Flying Corps Canada (RFCC) was formed in January 1917, so it is possible he served late in the war when he was 17 or 18. His gravemarker shows that he was a corporal in the R.C.A.F., so he did serve after it's formation in 1924.⁶
