But other fields of effort now claimed his attention. From the very 

 inception of the Boy Scout movement he became one of its most enthvisi- 

 astic supporters. The Cadet Corps of University School. Victoria, also 

 found in him its able sponsor. 



It is not surprising to find him associating himself in a more serious 

 way with military affairs. With the establishment of the 88th Fusiliers, 

 Captain Harvey took out his commission. His first taste of active 

 service was during the mining disturbances on Vancouver Island. Then 

 came the declaration of war, and Captain Harvey was one of the first 

 to offer his services. 



He was drafted with the 7th Battalion and after training at Val- 

 cartier and later at Salisbury Plain, was with the first Canadian forces 

 to go to France. Here he was wounded and taken prisoner in the gallant 

 charge of the Canadians during April, 1915, and died in a German con- 

 centration camp some few weeks later. 



The news of his death brought heartfelt sorrow to all who knew 

 him. His personality was magnetic in its power to attract and charm 

 those who were in any way intimately associated with him. The ver- 

 satility of his mind was so combined with a singleness of purpose and 

 concentration of effort in whatever he undertook that we find him excel- 

 ling in many of life's activities. During his residence in the West he 

 made many friends, who will long mourn his loss, and yet who will feel 

 a certain vicarious pride in the heroic nature of his death.
