Were two days coming from Franco but
I had algood bad all tho way so en-

great reception when we landed here

with cigarettes, sandwiches and tea and
they did nut seem able to do enough
for you. It is pretty cold here in Eug-
land now, but not as had as it was in
France. My wounds are healing up
fine now and 1 expect to be able to get
in a few days. I have been in bed
three weeks now and am getting pretty
tired of it. Things were pretty lively
in Franco when I got wounded and 1
expect the big drive to take place bo -
fore very long. 1t will likely be worm

right near where the Oanadlans are

about the Somme, but, uuuld not, and

two months we were there and 1 was

The Society, however, is not so au-

they aro to have yon actually co-
operate in growing the flowers, bushes,
trees that interest you most. We want
to follow out the Governments intention
of encouraging the beautifying the
towns, large and small, and it is with
this in view that we wish to have the,
people of Seaforth and district join use

From old England came a message to
this fair Canadian land.
In this great and mighty straggle won t
you coupe and lend a hand?
So our !eddies dohned the khaki,
Bravely shouldered then the gun,
Vowed to serve their king and country
in old Huron's one,oix-one.
Chorus:
When they heard the pleading,
"Soldiers brave, we're needing."
For their country's sake they nobly of-
fered all; -
God protect them ever while they thus
endeavor
Manfully to do their bit, whate'er be-
fall.
Tho' our hearts are almost broken since
we bade our boys good bye,
Still we know then do their utmost,
That the Union Jack may fly;
When battles all aro over and the
victory has been won,
May God bring bask to Canada old
Enron 's one -six -one.
This piece may bo sung to the tune of
".Keep the Homo Fires !Burning."
