Clarence McCabe was a farmer from the north shore of Hay Bay near the town of Napanee, Ontario who was swept up and lost to the events of his time. He fought bravely with the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles for seven months in the trenches of World War 1 and was part of Canada's successful and historic attack on Vimy Ridge. Like so many other young men of his time, his life was cut tragically short.
