Wilfred Sidney Robinson was the son of Ernest Robinson and Martha Jane Nesbitt of E 1/2 Lot 33 Concession 10. He was drafted in 1918 in the 1st Depot Battalion and received training at Wolseley Barracks in London, Ontario where he was assigned to the Canadian Engineers.

He is commemorated on the Rannoch Cenotaph as well as the Kintore Cenotaph probably because his father owned land in Blanshard Township as well.
