By April 1918, McTaggart
was back at the front with the
12th battery. He received his
fourth and fatal wound on
September 2, 1918. The
brigade diary reported that it

Brian Schell is new to Clinton and
the Rural Business Network (RBN),
and he came with a new role for the
business.
Currently, RBM focuses on web-
sites and software development.
Schell's arrival will expand their ser-
vices as he will focus on computer
repair and servicing.
Schell has also decided to use his
skills to assist seniors in his new
hometown. He will be providing one
free hour of consultation to seniors
aged 55 and up. This includes things
such as basic computer knowledge
for example understanding programs
like email and social media and per-
forming tasks such as attaching a file
to an email or even help with mobile
phones.
It can be done on -sight or remotely;
after that, consultation can be pur-
chased at an hourly rate.
"We've primarily been dealing busi-
ness to business'; said owner Patrick
Nagle. "[Brian's sldlls] will get us more
in touch with the general public."

have accomplished had he
survived. His sacrifice was
part of the terrible price the
Great War exacted from
Canada's youth. Major
McTaggart was one of those
who made the
Supreme Sacrifice because,
as Shakespeare wrote 'he
loved honour more than he
feared death: Major McTag-
gart's was a rare courage
worth far more than a few
dollars at an auction.
