A number of returned heroes arrived home last night, five returning at 4.30 and a number at 9.45 p.m. last night. Secretary MacDonald of the Soldiers’ Aid Commission was on hand to meet the trains, as well as relatives and friends of the soldiers returning. Those who returned at 4.30 were Private A.R.
