Military duty

Between 1915 and 1919 Mitchell was on military duty, fighting with the Canadian forces in World War 1. A notice in the Vancouver Daily World on November 19, 1917, claimed Mitchell had succumbed to his wounds in a London hospital,[1] but the information turned out to be inaccurate as he was still alive.[2]

Mitchell died on May 8, 1942, in his hometown of Winnipeg.
