On Way Home

Invalided out of the service, Farrier Corporal A.V. Scearce, formerly of Brantford, but who enlisted in Hamilton, is on his way back to Canada. He enlisted in Hamilton with a battery which was practically raised by Lieut. Col. Ashton. His wife and baby, who preceded him to England, are also coming back.

BX April 2, 1917

A party of three returned heroes, one on crutches and all badly injured, arrived in the city last evening shortly before 8 o'clock. Although the train was late, a goodly crowd and representatives of the Soldier’s Aid Commission met the party which consisted of the following returned men: J. Pizzey, 205 Marlboro Street, A.L. Rowley, West Mill Street, and A.V. Scearce, 108 St. George Street. Of the party Private Rowley was in the worst condition, having to use crutches. Members of the Soldiers’ Aid Commission were on hand and ushered the party into the commodious waiting room where a welcome home was given the men. W.F. Cockshutt, M.P., made a brief address of welcome. Messrs. Cockshutt, Fitton and Dowling then took the men to their respective homes in their automobiles.
