16th Con., Grey township, after the
suspense over whether he was killed
or not at the battle of Oambrai and
when months of time had sped and
no word came it was taken as almost
a certainty that he had made the
supreme sacrifice. A m800010al ser-
vice was held at Walton and general
regret expressed over this sturdy son

hospital ship and was well looked
after both on boat and trains,
A short visit was made home and
