In 1916 two of his brothers, Charlie and Wilfred, joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Jimmy followed one year later, enlisting in Vernon on March 23, 1917. He joined the 30th British Columbia Horse and eventually served with the 7th Battalion. On September 2, 1918&#8230; Private James Favell lost his life in France and was listed as Killed In Action.
