Turner was married on May 11, 1963, to Geills McCrae Kilgour ( b. 1937 ) who was a great-niece of Canadian Army doctor John McCrae, the author of what is probably the best-known First World War poem In Flanders Fields, and sister of David Kilgour, a long-time Canadian Member of Parliament.

John McCrae was a poet and physician from Guelph, Ontario.

He considered himself a soldier first ; his father was a military leader in Guelph and McCrae grew up believing in the duty of fighting for his country and empire.

According to tradition, McCrae was unsatisfied with his work.

Another story of the poem's origin claimed that Helmer's funeral was actually held on the morning of May 2 after which McCrae wrote the poem in 20 minutes.

A third claim, by Morrison, was that McCrae worked on the poem as time allowed between the times wounded arrived for medical attention.

It was published anonymously, though Punch attributed the poem to McCrae in its year-end index.

McCrae received numerous letters and telegrams praising his work when he was revealed as the author.

It was translated into numerous languages, so many that McCrae himself quipped that " it needs only Chinese now, surely ".

McCrae, a staunch supporter of the empire and the war effort, was pleased with the impact his poem had in the election.

McCrae was moved to the medical corps and stationed in Boulogne, France, in June 1915 where he was named lieutenant-colonel in charge of medicine at the Number 3 Canadian General Hospital.

He was well received by his fellow writers, George Gordon McCrae, Marcus Clarke, Adam Lindsay Gordon and others, but Kendall had none of the qualities of a successful journalist, though some of his work was accepted by the press and George Robertson published his second volume, Leaves from Australian Forests, soon after his arrival.

The poet found that he could not make a living by literature and, probably by the good offices of George Gordon McCrae, a temporary position was found for him in the government statist's office.

One day McCrae was called out into the passage to see Kendall, an agitated, trembling figure who told him he must go, he could not stand it any longer.

McCrae was a good friend to Kendall and he had many other friends in spite of his retiring and sensitive nature.

A pathetic letter is still in existence, in which Kendall tells McCrae that he could not go to Gordon's funeral because he was penniless.

However, while working on demos for KC & the Sunshine Band the song, " Rock Your Baby " ( George McCrae ) was created featuring Smith on guitar, and became a number one hit in 51 countries in mid 1974.

The band's " Queen of Clubs ", which featured uncredited vocals by McCrae, was a hit in the UK, peaking at # 7, and they went on tour there in 1975.
