CHARDSPEAKERS AT FORDWICH.
Fordwich, - Nov, 1.1—Three years
ago the citizens of Howich Township
decided to erect a suitable memorial to
her 19 men who gave their lives in
the Great ' War. The memorial has
taken the form of a soldiers' monument
erected in Fordwich, in a park donated,
by the iritizens of the village. To -day
that monument was unveiled and ded-
icated in loving and sacred - memory
of our fallen heroes and neighbors.
The township committee spared no
pains or energy to snake the ceremony
a fitting one, A well-prepared pro-
gram was printed anti distributed, so
that all might join,
At 2 o'clock Bugler Harry Richards,
late 133rd Battalion, sounded the call
to assemble and fall in and a military
guard marched from the public school
and lined up on their side of the tnonu'
menti The chairman, Rev. A. Laing,
gave a brief outline of the movement
which led up to the service and also
reminded the people for what thetnon-
,anent stands. Other speakers includ-
ed John J.oynt, M. P. P. ; Lieut. -Col.
R. T. Pritchard, of Fergus, and the local
clergy. Many of the Fordwich men
were under Col, Pritchard's command
in the 153rd,
Commend Citizens
Mr. Joynt congratulated the people
for what they had 'done and said the
Monument would be a worthy record
in clays to come of the spirit and de -
of the men of to -day,
Lieut. -Col. Pritchard also commend-
ed the citizens of the municipality for
erecting such a beautiful tribute in
memory of the fallen and brought the
news that this is the first bronze
statue of a soldier molded and cast in
Canada. Canadian soldiers, he said,
had never turned their hacks upon the
foe, had never failed to take an ob•
jective, or lost a foot of ground so
gained.
Telegrams of regret at inability to
attend were received from Rev. W. Ful-
ton Wallace, of Toronto, a Fordwich
boy; James Bowman, M. P,, and Lieut.
Col, D. Carmichael, of Toronto. The
last named. In his message said he
would have been glad to meet again
the men who returned, but wished to
tell then he was confident that they
would face the everyday problems of
Canadian citizens in the sante stead -
List, courage •with wlilch they encoun-
ered the enemy and bore tine hard-
ships of active serviee, and that .by.
so doing they 'would perform as great
service and earn• as much gratitude
as when 'they served in the artned
forces of the empire.
At the Utile of unveiling Lieut. Cor-
bett cabled his guars to 'attention and
thio bugler sounded "Last Post."
Reeve •P F Doig then unveiled the
monuniein, amid 'profound silence.
Rev. R. F, Jones, of the Anglican
church, who s'ei•ved overseas, offered
dedicatory 'prayer, and all joined -
in the`Lord`s Prayer. A massed choir
from "the diureses of the district rend
eredioir selections: "O Canada," "On -
wird' Clfrstilir Soldiers;" "0; God,'
Our Help in 'Ages Aast" and "Dear
Lord and Fattier 'cif Mankind" The
lVstionai •Anilient was siitlg in clos-
ing. -.

Alt'hoiigh the- weather was cold the
arge`essemblyi stood' in close attention
for 'nearly 'two hotirs. •

crete•foundation, is.of best Canadian
