WW1 Attestation papers
Harry Adams, b 5 Dec 1891 Windham Ont, laborer, next of kin: Perry Adams of Simcoe Ont. He signed up at Simcoe 3 Feb 1916.

He is also listed as being in the US Army. Signed up in Detroit. Dates are 1917-1918. It is only an index but birthdate and birth place are the same. Maybe he was given a discharge from Canadian Forces and reenlisted in US. That's why daughters were born there.
