George Chapman was born in Nelson, British Columbia. He and his father moved to Dawson where his father ran the steam-powered electrical generating plant. George worked as a blacksmith in Whitehorse prior to October 1915 when he joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force in Victoria for service in the First World War. He went to France with the 67th Canadian Pioneer Battalion of the 4th Canadian Infantry Division. He was wounded by artillery fire and died soon after at a hospital in Rouen, France. Private Chapman was awarded the British War Medal and Allied Victory Medal. He is buried in Bailleul Communal Cemetery Extension in Nord, France.((D.
