William Selkirk Duff

William Selkirk Duff was born in Selkirk, Ontario, on December 30, 1894 to David A. and Angelina P. Duff (nee Birdsall) of Cayuga.  He had two brothers, Oliver Wenzel and Whitson D. and a sister Jessie Duff.  His father was a well known and well respected Principal in Cayuga.  The Duff family resided at 26 Munsee Street in Cayuga.

A small, faded newspaper clipping has led Brendan Oliver on an earnest search for information about the young man in uniform, his family and his service to his country.

In the days leading to November 11 The Neat Little Bookshop blog will follow Brendan's discoveries with the hope that some of our readers can assist with additional stories or photographs.
