Has Returned Home

Private Charles David Scanlon of 230 Dalhousie Street, who went overseas with the 125th Battalion, returned home on Saturday. Through some misunderstanding the Soldiers Aid Commission was not notified and the return was unheralded. Pte. Scanlon, who formerly worked at William Paterson and Sons, was returned home because two fingers were missing from one of his hands.
