        History

        Civil Engineer Hugh Lumsden, having graduated from Trinity College School in Ontario in 1902, received a B.Sc. from McGill University in 1912. He enlisted in 1915 as a lieutenant with the Army’s 35th Battalion, transferred to the 19th and was sent to England where he was moved into the Overseas Railway Construction Corps in 1916. There he was appointed adjutant under Colonel C.W.P. Ramsay and given command of “C” Company with the rank of major in Canadian Railway Troops under Lieutenant Chilion L. (later Brigadier General) Hervey. When he returned to Canada in 1919, he worked for the Department of Soldiers’ Civil Re-establishment. That same year he was elected an associate member of the Institute of Civil Engineers in Great Britain. Later, in Orillia, Ontario, he was Assistant District Vocational Officer. He is the author of “Roads, Construction and Maintenance” published in 1938.
        His date of death is not recorded, but when his brother died in 1973 he was still alive.
