     TENTATIVE IDENTIFICATION: I have found no records of a John Hawkins enlisting from the Asquith area. William Hawkins is the most apparent identification since he was farming in the Sonningdale area. After the war, he returned to Stayner, Ontario. In 1933, he married Hilda Janzen hwo was the head opereating room nurse at the Saskatoon Sanatorium. They resided in the Stayner area until their passing. At the time they married, he was an insurance agent.⁸
