Veterans Met Their Returning Comrades

The veterans who slipped into Brantford on the Hamilton radial at 11 o’clock Wednesday night were met at the station by seven of their old comrades-in-arms. The secretary of the G.W.V.A. and five of the members of the G.W.V.A. spent the evening going from station to station, meeting train after train, until the arrival near midnight of the men they sought. There were eight of them – Privates Blake, Powell, Massengale, Knowles, “Mickie,” Duff, “Dusty,” Rhodes, King, and Anderson. They were all members of the “Mad Fourth,” who had left Brantford in the early days of the war. Four of them left direct to their homes, but five went over to the Returned Soldiers’ home, where a couple of hours were spent talking over old times. Privates Massengale, Powell and Blake remained at the home all night, the two former staying there at present, since they have no friends in the city.
