Legion Entertains World War 1 Men
And Hockey Team at YE Day Dinner
Eighteen, .veterans .of World
War I were guests' at the VE-
Day banquet of Clinton- Branch
140 of the Royal Canadian Leg-
ion last Wednesday.
Fred Sloman, another first
World War veteran was the
guest speaker.
'Mr, SIoman enlisted right out
of Clinton high schbol in May
1915 and was on his way over-
seas within 24 days. During his
talk he said: "It is not good to
be promoted from grade 13 out
into a world at war".
On his first attempt to enlist,
Fred didn't get in; he wore
glasses. But on May 2,1915, he'
enlisted at Carling Heights,
London, and was attached to.
the 33rd Battalion. At that
time Fred said there were five
cars and trucks in Clinton and
it was quite a sight to. see 29
trucks lined up on Carling
Heights.
He was made a lance corpor-
al within three days. He made,
two trips home from Landon
before going overseas. On one
of these trips he tried two ex-
aans at high school, but only
passed one. •
Fred reminisced 'about the 15-
day boat trip, his experiences
during training and actual
fighting in Europe. He was at-
tached 'to the 4th Field Ambu-
lance, and sopke 'of his exper-
iences,as stretcher-bearer. He
was invalided back to England
and later to Canada and was
stationed at the. prison farm
at Guelph when war ended.
He was advised not to go
mask to books and school, but
he did, He thought of the many
illiterate boys he had met 'in
the war, then wanted the teach.
He 'taught in Blyth continuation
schoel and for five . years in
Northern Ontario. In 1927 he
was made principal of a CNR
travelling school car at 'Capreel.
For 36 years he stayed with
the school car "syStem in 'the
north.
The speaker was. introduced
by J.. D. Thorndike and thanked
