It’s hush-hush—and I can’t tell you any more.” So wrote Pte. Glenn Dunbar Schwegler, of the Royal Regiment of Canada to his wife, Mrs. Lily Schwegler, who lives with her two small children and her widowed mother, Mrs. Lily Hughes, at 93 Auburn ave., Toronto. Mrs. Schweg­ler received the letter on the very day of the Dieppe raid, Aug. 19. A few days' later she received the fateful telegram from Ottawa which listed her husband, as “missing”. Pte. Schwegler joined up over two years ago. After training at Camp Borden and other centres he was sent to Iceland. He was there six months, then transferred to England. Pte. Schwegler is a tal­ented musician and something of a composer. He can play almost any kind of instrument, and was for years before his enlistment a mem­ber of the Central Technical School orchestra. In England he played a saxophone in the Royal Regiment band. Two of his compositions*. “Walking My Dog” and '“Dream Ballad,”' were played ovei* the air to Canada from the Beaver Club,. London, England, last winter.He is also an able organist, hav­ing had a small organ in his home at the time he enlisted. The instru­ment was destroyed, in the fire which razed his home last winter.
