Tranter, William David, 1869-1942 : British-born William David Tranter participated in three wars. He was born Barston in 1869 and apprenticed to the trade of Blacksmith and Wheelwright. In 1893 he enlisted with 4th Lancashire Field Artillery at the rank of Wheeler Corporal. In 1895 he served at the Relief of Chitral in India. In 1899 he immigrated to Canada where he worked at the CPR shops in Winnipeg as a wheelwright and coach builder; he joined the 90th Infantry Battalion as Sergeant of C. Company the same year. He served as Wheeler Corporal of the C. Battery FCFA in the Boer War in South Africa from 1899 to 1901. After the war he returned to Winnipeg where he rejoined the 13th Battalion CFH at the rank of Farrier Sergeant. Between 1902 and 1906 he worked for the residential school in Middlechurch, Manitoba. In 1906 he established Tranters' Woodworking and Repair Shop in Middlechurch, and in 1909 became a homesteader near Oak Point, Manitoba. Between 1901 and the outbreak of the First World War he continued to be involved with the 13th Field Battalion as a Farrier Sergeant. In 1914 he began working as Recruiting Officer in District No. 10 and in 1916 he went overseas as Transport Sergeant for the 222nd Battalion. In 1917 he served as Farrier Sergeant with CASC Seaford.
