tive of W. H. Armstrong, 5th line,

first to join the 50th and who left with
the draft of this battalion, has been
killed in action, He enlisted in Janu-
ary last and was in No. 4, platoon.

weighing 240 pounds, Arnell was one
of the big men in Lieut. Ool. Mason's
unit. Ile was only 20 years of age
when he joined the 50th and came
direct from the Mount Royal college,
where he had just graduated. Previ-
ously be had attended Woodstock
college, Ont. This is the second tiine
that death has within a short period
narrowed the family circle, a daugh-
ter having died last April through a
nervous breakdown, following her ex-
amination at the high school. The
giant stature of the son probably
formed a special target for a German
sniper, although the actual way in

ed in the held dispatch, Re was one
of the bestmeu that ever enlisted in

Pte. J. McArter Writes
From the Front
The following letters from France
were received by Mrs. Harry McArter,
of Hartney, Man., who is a sister to
Mre. Jno. G. Smith, 8th Con., Grey
township, and were brought to THE
POST by Frank McOuteheon, of Mor-
rie township, who recently arrived
home from the West. The old friends
of the family here wish the soldier
boy a good recovery and a safe return
when the war is over.
MRS. H. MCARTER,
DEAR MADAM.—I am writing at the
request of your son, Private J. Me-
Arter, of the 6th Canadians, who is
getting on very well in this Hospital.
He has not been wounded, but is an
inmate here as a medical patient. He
was admitted here about a week ago
with pains in the side which turned
out to be appendicitis. His appendix
was removed 2 days ago and he is now
making a good recovery indeed. It
was a most fortunate thing that be
had gone sick and that he was in a
hospital, as he had an abscess in the
appendix and it had burst just pre-
vious to the operation and had he not
been somewhere where an instant
operatiou could be performed it would
have gone very badly with him. As
it is, there is now no longer any clang-
er and your son ought to be convales-
cent in the course of 10 days or so.
You may rest assured that he is
in most capable hands and that every-
thing will be done for him that is
possible for his health and comfort,
He sends you his very kindest re-
membrance and I am writing for him,.
as he ought to lie quiet and not exert
himself for a little. Your truly,
E. B, B. TOWOE,
Capt. The Gordon Highlanders
The Australian Hospital,
Wimereux, near Boulogne,
France.
September 11, 1915.
DEAR. MOTEER,—Well you will be
waiting anxiously for a letter from
me. I suppose you got the Captain's
letter and it would maybe scare you
for a while but I am all right now.
It is the fifth day after the operation
and I am sitting up in bed looking out
of the window and as soon as I am fit
to travel they are going to send me
over to England. I was supposed to
go to England the day before my op-
eration only that I had taken worse
and they wouldn't send me. 1 am
awful glad they didn't. The morning
of my operation the doctor came into
the room and looked at me and asked
howwas. Ito
ld him I thoughtI
was getting worse and he said no 1
was all right but I saw him wink at
the nurse and they had me on the
operating table in 15 minutes and it
wasn't long after until it was out and
I was feeling flue. The first two days
I felt rotten but after that Igot better'
quickly and I feel' a different boy al-
together. The doctors and nurses
here are fine, you couldn't have dons
better for ore if I had been home, I
you
don't thick. You get anything g y ,
want and I would be a spoiled boy if
I was here very long, some of the
nurses say I am now but you know
when a follow is sick how he wants
things. I had chicken, bread, pota-
toes and custard for dinner so you see
I must be getting better. I will be
over in England maybe before you get
this letter eo 11 doesen't take them
long to make a fellow well, does it ?
Well, mother, I think I will have to
close for this time and will write you
again in a day or two. I got one of.
your letters the night after I was op -
wetted on and it brought me back
home for a while. Hoping everybody
is well and having a good time, I -will
close. You will have to excuse scrib-
bling as I am not very strong yet but
will be ere long. Tour loving son,
i"WING,".
