Forsyth Heard From

Mrs. R.R. Taylor, Brant Avenue, has received two letters relating to her nephew, Aubrey Forsyth, formerly of Scotland, this county, recently reported wounded. One is from the Red Cross Association of London, England, which states that Aubrey is seriously ill but doing well; condition fair. The second is from the patient’s own nurse, who says:

“Aubrey Forsyth is a patient in my ward suffering from an injury in his spine, which, however seems to be improving, as he is now able to move his legs freely. He is, of course, seriously ill, but at most is not dangerously ill. I will take best care of him and will write again if he is unable to do so.”

Is Doing Well

Mrs. R.B. Taylor, 261 Brant Avenue has received a letter from her nephew, Aubrey Forsyth, of the Canadian Engineers, who was recently reported wounded in the battle of the Somme. He received a piece of a “whizz bang” shell half an inch from the spine, but is now in England and doing very well, after many lively experiences. Friends will be glad to know that the former Scotland boy is well on the road to recovery.
