Acton was a city in southern Ontario, Canada. It was part of the next major line of defense by the Canadians after Guelph fell to the Americans in 1915.

During one offensive involving ineffective use of chlorine gas, Lt. Jonathan Moss attacked a Canadian trench with the machine guns of his Martin one-decker. Some soldiers scattered but Moss was subject to ground fire from others. His aeroplane was hit several times including in the engine. Moss immediately turned to U.S. lines but the engine quit part way there. Moss managed to glide past the front and set down on a dirt road after just overflying a supply convoy. The ground troops treated him as a hero and next day returned him to his aerodrome in Cambridge, Ontario.[1]

Acton was taken by the advancing United States Army during the Great War in 1916 after a lengthy battle that involved the use of barrels by both sides.
