#OTD in 1892 George Ernest Cumbers was born in Moosomin, Saskatchewan. He would play hockey for the Winnipeg Falcons before the First World War but was sadly #KIA on 28 March 1918 and thus was not part of the 1920 Olympic Champion team. @MBHHOF a.co/d/4r9IaAd
He’s also a published author on topics like artillery tactics and the Winnipeg Falcons hockey team. Thank you for your friendship. 2/2
