In 1911, at age 15, William Thomas Harrison Jr, was residing at 1 Ramparts Road in Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his mother, step-father and step-siblings. He was working as a grocery errand boy. On 11 Sep 1915, 19 year old William Thomas Harrison, residing in Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada, enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force for WWI. He gives his birth place as "Homeburg." England. No such place is known. He lists his birthday as "unknown." His next of kin is a Mr. Alfred B. Owens of Toronto. There is insufficient information to know if he is the same William Thomas Harrison born in 1895 in Lancaster to William Thomas Harrison and Margaret Ellen Angus. Meanwhile, on 11 Dec 1915, 20 year old Thomas Harrison, son of Margaret Ellen Harrison, residing at 192 Strand Road in Preston, Lancashire, England, enrolled in the British Army. There is insufficient information to know if he might be the correct William Thomas Harrison, Jr. There is not sufficient information to prefer one of these cases over the other.
