In 1917 he was assigned to the Canadian front in France, with the rank of Brigadier-General. After the war he served as Director of the Historical Section of the general staff until his retirement in 1921. He was author of numerous historical and biographical works, and his papers consist largely of manuscripts of books and articles and of documents relating to published or projected works. He was the Chairman of the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada from its inception in 1919 until his death.
