Oa Thursday last the Oadets of the
Sigh School were inspected by Capt.
Carting of London, and the Manner in
which they carried out their work
brought forth from the spectators and
n e p e c t or many 000apliulentary re •
ma Is. --,
The cadets, due to the war coedit•
tone, were not supplied with uniforms
or rifles, but wore the hate and belts
supplied. Capt. I3oweon, half•eom•
parry commanders, McBurney a n d
Taylor, and section commanders,
Campbell, McLean, Johne and Jaffar
son, all did their work iu handling
their respective divisions in such a
capable and decisive way that the
inspector remarked how well they
knew their work.' The march passed
in the ceremonial drill was performed
with the accuracy and precision of
men of long training mad shows that
each individual cadet put his heart
into the work.
Capt. Carling compimented the boys
• on their splendid showing and sug-
gested the formation of a signaling
corps and bugle band. These with
uniform 1 and and rifles we hope to
see another year,

LETTERS FROM WINOLAM BOYS
WHO ARE NOW AT THE FRONT.
The following better was given to us
by Mr, William Paul, of town, and
was written by his nephew, Pte. Peroo
Syder, who was, we are glad to learn,
only wounded and 'not killed as was
reported last week,
Bed 27, Town Hall Hospital,
1'orguay, seven, Eng.
DEAR Btu.; As you will see by tbe
above address lam back in old Eng-
land once more, I've been wounded
slightly in the right calf, its only a
graze about five inches long, I suppose
you have read the accounts of it in the
paper, therefore it will not be neces-
sary for me to explain. Enough to
say, 11 is a miracle any of us came out
at all. I thank God He saw fit to spare
me. It was pretty hot time and the
boys did their part well, 00 one budg-
ed an inch. We were up against about
250,000 Germaies and they had the ad-
vantage as we had to advance over a
mile of open country, not a sign of a
tree or a bush and all up hill. It was
just like a big storm, the shells sound-
ing like thunder and bullets coming
like hail all the time. I have been in
Trench Hospitals before being brought
over here, arriving on Saturday, May
1st. I was wounded on the 21tb, but
am doing nicely now and every one
here is kind. Visitors coming in at
intervals bring us chocolates and cig
arettee. There is about sixty wound-
ed here, but only eight Canadians, As
soon as we are able to walk they take
us out in motors and to shows. It
won't take long to heal up, but l'en go-
ing home for a short leave before re-
turning. I suppose I'll be back at the
front by the titne I receive your next
answer. You better write a few lines
to mother and then she will be able to
send them on to where I ern. Tell her
I am well and expect to have another
go at the Germans soon. I have just
bad a letter, they nearly reached the
ceiling when they beard I was in
England again. They are all well,
Your loving nephew,

as follows.

this explosion was Sergeant Barron

earth off my heed, answered. I'm all

all attention here, doctors and nurses
are splendid, but the matron is a hor-
rihie person to have over you, if you
Ile down she tells you to move about

nversa, if you go out on the
veranda she sends you in and vice
versa, she simply wont give us any
peace. This is a beautiful place on the
sea shore, with beautiful surrounding

be able to enjoy life, bat you can't do
anything, it is like a jail all on account
of the Matron and worst of alt our
mail has not found us yet, if we bad
that to cheer us up it would not seem
so bad, I know I should not complain
but should be glad of professional at-
tention which is curing my wounds so
quickly, I should forget my trip from
the firing line when every jar almost
made my head split, and look only on
the bright side, 1 do try but it is diffl•
cult to do so at alt times, though truly
I have every reason to be thankful,
some poor fellows are seriously cripp-
led for life, others have lost their sight,
many have lost their limbs and thous-
ands have given their lives, while I
expect soon to be able to join my com-
pany with scarcely a scar, yes I must
consider myself very fortunate indeed,
very few escaped as well in a like
position, I am longing for word from
home and hope onr mail will soon find
us. Don't worry for me, even if I do
complain, ',it is all for a great good
cause, no sacrifice could be too much.
Hoping you are all well and happy,
Remember me to all my old friends,
and write often.
Affectionately yours,
E main,
Pte. C. J. Marshall, formerly em-
ployed with Walker & Clegg, writing
from the 2nd General Hospital, Brie -
to!, to Mr. and Mee. E. Philips, says,
Just a line to let you know I am in
the hospital but getting along very
well. I was wounded in the battle of
April 23:d. I received three shrapnel
wounds in the left leg, thigb, calf and
ankle, very badly bruised, just as if
my leg had been pounded with a ham•
mer, when struck I thought for a
minute my Ieg was eff, ;h3 concussion
was so great with the burstirg of the
shell. We were called out early, one
o'clock, Friday morning and were
rushed to the scene of action. I can
tell you it was some hot tinie, as we
were advancing in the open, shells
were pouring around us like hail, and
no chance of shelter.
You will remember, Mr, Patterson
presenting us with a small mirror each
on the day we left Wingbam. well no
doubt that mirror was the means of
saving ley Iife, for I was struck with a
bullet which pierced a hole through
the breast pocket of my tunic and
overcoat, 1 ut went no farther than the
hack of thti't mirror. It broke it up
pretty badly and the glass was smash
ed into powder, but I can assure you I
feel thankful to be alive now. The
doctors aro going to use the ray on
my leg again they think there is
some atropin' still in it. 1 have only
seen one Wingbam boy since, Fred
Groves, he cause away in the same
ambulance with me, from the dressing
station; I suppose be has been sent to
another hospital. The hospital I am
in is very nice and comfortable, and I
ate getting along well.
Excuse the appearance of tbie letter,
as I am lying on my back while writ-
ing and can't move my leg. Best
wishes to everyone.
Your bincere friend
C. J. Marshall.
