Returned Men

Twelve months ago Sergeant James Duncan of this city was blown up and wounded at Vimy Ridge. As a result he was invalided home and arrived here last evening. Expected with him were G.A. Cooper, 11 Esther Street; W.T. Hurley, 45 Alonzo, and E.M. Knowles. However, one of the other arrived. A number more returned veterans are expected today or tomorrow. Duncan’s home is at 47 Edgerton Street. He came home on the 6.25 G.T.R. train, which was nearly an hour late, and was met by Mr. George MacDonald, secretary of the Soldiers’ Aid Commission.
