W. W. E. Ross

William Wrighton Eustace Ross (1894-1966), born in Peterborough, Ontario, and raised in Pembroke, studied science at the University of Toronto, then served as a signaller in the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the Great War. A geophysicist at the Dominion Magnetic Observatory, at Agincourt, he spent his whole working life there and gave his verse, under his initials, to magazines in Chicago and New York. Little known outside university circles in his lifetime, rediscovered in the fifties by younger poets, he died in Toronto.
