Stanley Barjarow
Stanley Barjarow was born 6 December 1896 in Coboconk ON. His parents, Reuben and Jennie Barjarow eventually settled in Lindsay ON at 46 Queen Street and had a total of 8 children (2 girls, 6 boys). Three of the sons, George, Stanley and Tracy, enlisted for service, with only George making it home safely.
Standing in front of his younger brother Tracy in the enlistment line, Stanley enlisted on 22 November 1915 with the 109th Battalion in Lindsay ON. Both Stanley and Tracy were transferred to the 38th Battalion before they landed in France and served out their time together.
After making it through Vimy Ridge with shrapnel wounds to his head and hands, Stanley rejoined the 38th Battalion on 30 April 1917. There are no specific details in the 38th Battalion war diary that would shed specific light on how Pte Barjarow was wounded in June 1917, but there was immense shelling around LA COULOTTE support line and village, as well as IRISH TRENCH, CLARK and CYRIL CT’s. As well, heavy fire around AVION as well as QUEBEC and KIRK trenches, so its possible that he was in one of these heavily bombed areas. He died of his wounds on 27 June 1917 at No. 6 Casualty Clearing Station.
Stanley Barjarow is buried in Barlin Communal Cemetery, Barlin, France. He was 19 years old.
