In the same census John Foulkes gives his occupation as officer. He had served in the Canadian army before and during World War I. During the war he achieved the rank of Major in the Canadian Service Corps (4th Canadian Division). He had previously often been referred to as Captain Foulkes. He was appointed a Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur for services during World War I.
