Private Roy Burnett Winter was born in Britannia (Mississauga) on December 14th, 1894 to Mrs. Rose Winter. His parents were married in Churchville, and it appears they attended Church in the village. Private Winter was drafted in May of 1918 under the Military Service Act. He had been a farmer before his draft, but once in the military was quickly transferred into the #3 Machine Gun Corps with whom he fought in France. In August of 1918 Roy was admitted into the Aldershott Military Isolation Hospital with a severe case of the mumps. He remained in isolation for 22 days as he recovered. Private Winter received the War Service Badge Class A for “seeing military service at the front, and being honourably discharged”, and was sent home on September 22nd, 1919, where he returned to working on his family’s farm in RR#6 Brampton - possibly the north side of Steeles (source: Ancestrylibrary.ca). 

              Winter married Daisy Dyer in 1925 and they had a son named Cameron Roy Leon Winter in 1926. He died on April 26th, 1979 and is buried in the Britannia United Church cemetery in Mississauga (source: Findagrave.com).
