Pte. John Booth Bromley, 139227, served with the 75th Battalion, Central Ontario Regiment. Born in Toronto, he enlisted in September 1915. His family home was at 205 Brunswick Avenue in Toronto.

"An interesting romance ended today in the marriage of Miss Mary M. Harvey, daughter of Major Harvey, of Lymington, England, to Mr. Jack B. Bromley, eldest son of Mr. John Bromley. The groom, who was severely wounded at the Somme, was nursed by the bride, who was serving as a V.A.D. in a military hospital in Birmingham.

After pluckily crossing the ocean without mishap about a month ago, the couple were united in marriage at half-past two o'clock this afternoon at Christ's Church. Officiating Bishop Brewing took the service in the presence of a large number of friends and relatives. A reception was held at the home of the groom's parents on Brunswick avenue, and in the evening Mr. and Mrs. Bromley will leave to spend their honeymoon across the line. On their return they will reside in Toronto." Toronto Star
