In his early years his father was defeated in the federal election and the family moved to Smith’s Falls. In 1903 at the age of 16 he won the Ottawa Boxing Championship under the name of Young. His father died when he was 15 and he went to work at the bank to gain experience in business. He graduated from Queen`s University on 24 Apr 1912 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil Engineering and he became a Dominion Land Surveyor, receiving his certificate from the Province of Ontario on 11 May 1910 and from the Province of Quebec on 18 May 1914. In Canada at that time Dominion Land Surveyors were the early explorers who surveyed the vast tracts of land in western Canada. Before the war ``he helped to establish the township lines in the Peace River District of northern Alberta. He also participated in survey work on Upavon Island and around Drumheller, Alberta where he said the sulphur in the water was so bad that to swallow it you had to immediately put a plug of tobacco in your mouth. On one trip, the whole survey crew got typhoid fever. All the crew except him went to Montreal for treatment, but insisted that he be sent to Ottawa. This was fortunate for him because, although he became delirious and was very sick, at least he lived. The rest of the crew all died.`` He returned to his work and ``the survey crew was so isolated that the First World War had been on for nine months before he heard about it and then walked over one hundred miles to enlist.” Meikle enlisted at Ottawa on 1 Mar 1915 and was assigned to the 25th Battery, 7th Brigade Reinforcement Draft. He left Canada on 20 Jun 1915 and arrived in England on 28 Jun 1915 where he was assigned to the 3rd Reserve Battery, Canadian Field Artillery.

On Nov 1915, in a letter written on 30 Jul 1916, Major J.K. MacKay, his Battery Commander, and later Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, wrote ``I have the good fortune to have with me, as one of the officers of the 22nd Canadian Howitzer Battery, your son, Lt. A.U. Meikle. Under the most strenuous and some of the most trying tests Lt. Meike has proven himself a most efficient and capable officer. In my estimation he is the ablest artillery officer in the 2nd Canadian Division. The distinction that has been given the 22nd Howitzer Battery, by being mentioned in General Haig`s despatches is largely due to Lt. Meikle`s zeal and untiring efforts.” Meikle was awarded the Military Cross in the London Gazette of 14 Nov 1916 ``for conspicuous gallantry in action (at St. Eloi). He handled his gun with great courage and skill under the most trying circumstances and heavy shell fire.” From 21 Jan 1917 to 16 Feb 1917 he was attached to the 1st Army Artillery School for a course of instruction. He was appointed as an Acting Captain from 3 Jun 1917 to 19 Jun 1917 and promoted to Temporary Captain on 3 May 1917. From 13 Jan 1918 to 15 Mar 1918 to 4 Aug 1918, he served as an acting Major.

He was admitted to the 20th General Hospital at Dannes Camiers, France. On 12 Oct 1918 he was evacuated to England on the Army Transport “Princess Elizabeth” and admitted to the John Leigh Memorial Hospital in Altincham, England on 13 Oct 1918 with a very septic wound to the buttocks. He was operated on by the surgeon and he eventually recovered. The doctor indicated that “he owes his recovery very much to his own indomitable pluck.” He was assigned to the 9th Brigade, C.F.A. on 18 Nov 1918 and promoted to the rank of Temporary Major on 19 Nov 1918. On 27 Apr 1919 he was admitted to the Canadian Red Cross Officer’s Hospital and on 3 Mar 1919 he was admitted to the C.C. Officer’s Hospital, Matlock. Meikle sailed for Canada on 21 May 1919 and he was demobilized as medically unfit on 15 June 1919. “During the war” he was buried up to his neck when a shell exploded near him. Fortunately he was not injured. He also had three horses shot out from under him without getting hurt himself. However the fourth time the horse was not injured but my father was wounded in the hip by shrapnel.” He moved to Ottawa in 1919 and went to work for the Department of Soldiers Civil Re-establishment, which later became the Department of Veteran’s Affairs. He retired in 1953 as Director of Operations and Organizations, the highest non-political appointment in the department. He lived at 605 Melbourne Avenue and served as an elder of the Westboro United Church. On Monday, 15 Feb 1960 he died at the age of 72, in the hospital after a lengthy illness due to cancer.

The day she died was the same day that her granddaughter, Andrea McLaren was married. The Meikles had one son, Robert, and four daughters, Alison; Mary (Mrs. E.H. Stock); Marion (Mrs. R.W.
