John remained in England with a reserve battalion until November 1917 when he was transferred to the 15th battalion (48th Highlanders) and was part of the Army of Occupation until 1919. Carman left for France with the 75th battalion in December 1917 and was at Vimy Ridge in April of 1917. He was wounded in a trench raid in June of 1917 and returned to Canada by December.
