LANCE CORPORAL GEO. SMITH
Seldom, if ever, has the sympathy
of the entire community ,been so
deeply stirred as in the sad and tra-
gic ending of Lance,'Conponei George
Smith. Born (nearly 28 years ago in
Afcciltivray Townsihip he grew on to
be (about tire years of age and went
with the family to Steiphen township
and took up their abode about five
miles from (Crediton. (Here he , re-
mained until about five years ago
when he went to Toronto. While in
Toronto the, together with his brother
Walter, heard the clarion ,aall to'
fight 'for King and (Country. Being •
noble paatriotic young men they
enlisted in Jan. 1915 ,in the 48th High -
Landers. They went overseas in Sept.
1915. The brothers always the .clos-
est of friends fought together and
saw active service for over two years.
They were in marry important engage-
ments notably Vimy Ridge, and the,
famous Hill 70. George • was twice!
wounded, at first slightly but on the
second occasion very' seriously. About'
three weeks after George was ser-
ioesly wounded, ,W.eiter also received
a serious wound but after some
months spent in hospital in England,
:he was invalided home, Nov.,. 1918.)
Walter was very loth Ito leave his{
brother in England when he sailed
for Canada but both boys looked for-
ward to the time when they should be
re -united in 'thein own home in Can-
ada. They had been brave, and noble'
soldiers and right royally had they
done their bit for Thome and loved
ones. In recognition of (his ,services;
George was promoted to be Lance-,
Corporal and was recommended for
the D. IC. M. Some weeks after Wal-
ter :had left England George embark-
edwith others and •crossed in safety
for (tihe second time 'the broad waters
of the Atlantic ocean. He ,with oth-
ers boarded the troop }train at Halifax
and this side of Halifax met a very
tragic death with two p(thers. Many;
were wounded by the train being
derailed Dec. 31st, 1918. The body
Placed in casket was given a military
convoy and arrived at Stra:tprlroy on
Sunday, Sally. 5th, 1919 and was
brought across country and „finally
reached ,his father's residence Jam.
5th, 1919, Sunday.
A Military funeral was ,(held or.1
Monday; Jar.y. 6th. A detachment of
soldiers arrived from Toronto for the
funeral. {Capt. Kennedy of 2nd (Batt.
C. Garrison Beget., Toronto, was in'
charge of 121 men ,who acted as put-.
bearers arid firing'party.
The funeral service was most
pressive. Three ministers assisted.

Evangelical church and RevC. W. ?

At the grave three volleys were

`,;Weep not for me 'my mother dear,
My 'friends and kindred true,
I have but done my little bit,
As You. might wish me do.
My shield. I ,have with honor bright.
:Brought 'back again to you,
For King and Country , (have fought
As all might wish ;me do.
,How kindly (hfas, my Father led
lily devious way along.
I have in France and Flanders bled,
That You might sing proud` victor's
song.
My body docO not now retpose
Unnumbered With the fallen foe.
Nor does it rest beneath the wave,
Unmarked where countless heroes go.
A kindly Providence has ,led,
Me !home again where kindly hand
Where all My needs, my hunger fed,
My fears allayed, %vita hopes and
ideals grand.
And now the victory Bras been won,
And right shall ante, and not the
wrong.
Lift loud thy voice ,in victory's song,
With 'courage let it ,(sweep along.
God !has been good to me my friends,
The old year through he bounties gave
The (prospect of the New Year lends
A glory far above the grave..
My hope is centered in the Christ,
He (came the Father to reveal
His blessing of abundant life,
Data !sweetly through my spirit steal.
Yon Heaven of wihi,ah. ,the Pastor
spoke,
Is not a vague and empty dream,
Away beyond earth's fire and smoke
But just across a Yarrow (stream.
The battle -field of life grows dim,
The shout and clamour of it dies;
I seize my golden (harp and sing,
Of Him in *hone all beauty lies.
Meet me nip there beyond the blue,
With glance of love I look for you,
My mother, friends and kindred true
Where we Oben bid All tears adieu."
