From a Montreal newspaper in 1940.text reads: Five brothers in the Armed Forces of Canada is the proud record of the Nosworthy family. Sons of Mrs. Mary Nosworthy of 936 Calumet Place, and all born and educated in Montreal, they are shown above, including two who are on active service overseas. From left to right in order of their ages, they are: AC-1 Roy Nosworthy, 31, now at S.F.P.S., Dauphin, Man., Cpl. Melville (Buddy) Nosworthy, 28, at R.C.A.F. headquarters here; Pte. Louis (Lolly) Nosworthy, 25, in the Royal Montreal Regiment; Pte. Edward (Teddy) Nosworthy, 23, Royal Montreal Regiment; and Pte. William (Billy) Nosworthy, 19, in the Royal Canadian Ordinance Corps. Edward led the parade to the recruiting offices joining up right after the outbreak of the war, to be followed by Louis a month later, with Melville, Roy and William signing on quickly afterward in that order. Melville, Louis and William were employed by the Canadian Car & Foundry Co. and Roy and Edward also had steady jobs with other firms before they decided to don the King's uniform.
