The Wroxeter News says: We have
heard a great deal these last four years
about the war efforts of the larger towns
and cities, and the steady, persistent, un-
heralded toil and suffering and sacrifice
of the country places is apt to be over-
looked. Comparisons are said to be odi-
ous. but the intention at the present time
is not to detract but to give
honor where honor would appear to
be due. From the village of Wrox-
eter, with a present population of d48,
twenty•eight men whose homes are in the
village enlisted voluntarily—almost to a
man—and went ova rseas. Of that num-
ber seven were killed in action, eight
wounded and one gassed. Wroxeter is
also represented by one nurse in France.
A chartered branch of the Rea Cross So-
ciety was formed early in the war and the
women have been yery active in sending
comforts to the sildter at the Iran ,
When recruits for the army were being
enrolled the young ladies formed a Y.L.R.
League and they have been most active
in forwarding supplies to the boys over-
seas. About seventy men were recruited
in Wroxeter and vicinity and received
their first army training in the village. In
the recent Victory loan canvass the people
within the corporation subscribed $43,-
800, which entitled the place to the Gov-
ernor -General's honor flag with two
crowns.
