Marshall, Lieut.-Col. Kenric Reid, C.M.G., D.S.O., is the eldest son of Hon. Col. Noel Marshall, capitalist of Toronto, and his wife, H. T. Hogg (deceased), born in Toronto, October 13, 1880. He was educated in private schools and Upper Canada College. At the age of nineteen he began his business career with the Standard Fuel Co., of which his father was president, and continued active connection with that company till the war broke out. He married, October 20, 1909, Marion J., daughter of Angus Kirkland, Esq., banker (deceased). He has one son, Peter K. Marshall. On the outbreak of war Colonel Marshall, who was then a junior Captain in the 48th Highlanders, proceeded overseas with the 15th Battalion, but was unable to accompany his unit to France owing to an attack of pneumonia, contracted on Salisbury Plains, which rendered him unfit for general service for the greater part of 1915, though he was able to perform light duties in France and England for part of that year. In May, 1916, he was passed fit for duty, shortly after being appointed Staff Captain to Brigadier-General Lord Brooke’s Brigade in the newly-formed 4th Canadian Division, and served under this officer until Lord Brooke was wounded in September, 1916, and the 12th Canadian Infantry Brigade came under the command of Brigadier-General J. H. MacBrien, C.B., etc. Colonel Marshall served with General MacBrien through the Battle of the Somme, and for his part in this operation received the Distinguished Service Order. In the early part of 1917 he was promoted to the rank of Major, and given an appointment under the late Major-General Lipsett, who commanded the 3rd Canadian Division. After some nine months’ service with this distinguished commander he was recommended as qualified to fill the appointment of Adjutant and Quartermaster-General of a division, and was subsequently promoted to that post in the 4th Canadian Division under Major-General Sir David Watson, K.C.B., and given the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, being one of the first officers who had not passed through the Staff College at Camberley to become a first-grade Staff Officer in the field. Lt.-Col. Marshall remained throughout the balance of the campaign in the above capacity receiving the C.M.G. for his part in connection with the battles of 1918. He was mentioned in despatches on three occasions. Lt.-Col. Marshall is President of the Standard Fuel Co. of Toronto, founded fifty years ago, at present doing a large retail business throughout Ontario. He is fond of outdoor life, and is a member of several prominent clubs, The Toronto Hunt, National, Rosedale Golf, etc. He is an Anglican and Conservative. His favorite recreations are farming and polo. His city residence is 97 Glen Road, and his country home and farm at Dunbarton. Col. Marshall is an alert business man, with a very pleasing personality.
