    Biographical history

    Edward Hugh Bowen, also known as Ned, was born 2 June 1880 in Sherbrooke. He was the youngest surviving son of Frederick W.W. Bowen and Sara Jane Hall. Ned began his military career in the 53rd Sherbrooke Battalion/Regiment. During WWI, he initially served as a Major in the 15th Battalion and 2nd Battalion CEF and later with 117th Eastern Townships Battalion, fighting overseas during WWI. He died 2 June 1923 from the persisting effects of gas poisoning he suffered during the War. He is buried at the Elmwood Cemetery in Sherbrooke.
