| Quigley attended St Andrew's in
Aurora, Ontario from 1907-1909 When the war began,
Quigley was a student at Queen's University in
Toronto. He joined the army on 16 December 1914,
serving with the Canadian Army Engineers on the
Western Front. He transferred to the Royal Flying
Corps in early 1917 and was posted to 70 Squadron
in France on 12 September 1917. Flying Sopwith
Camels, he scored 33 confirmed victories before
he was wounded in action on 27 March 1918. Recovering
from a shattered ankle, he returned to Canada
where he served as an instructor at Armour Heights.
Enroute back to England in October 1918, Quigley
came down with influenza and died in hospital
two days after his ship reached Liverpool. |
