Son’s Injuries Are Permanent – Private E. Harrington’s Wounds will be Avenged by Three Brothers
Mrs. J. Harrington, Farringdon Church, has received a letter from her son, Pte. E Harrington, of the 4th Battalion, who is now in Shorncliffe Hospital, suffering from a serious wound received at Langemarck. He wishes, through The Expositor, to thank the ladies and gentlemen of Brantford for the kind gifts and cigarettes he has received from this city. Although from April 23 last until November he was not visited by anyone, he states that Mrs. (Col.) Ashton visits him now nearly every day, bringing him dainties.
Mrs. Harrington states that her son is injured for life, having undergone seven operations, and his condition is still serious. She also states that she has three more sons eager to take revenge for the awful wounds of their brother. They are, Fred of the 36th Battalion, Len in the 86th Machine Gun Battalion at Hamilton, and Chris in the 125th Battalion.
Mrs. Harrington is justly proud of having four sons fighting for their country, and hopes they will someday have an opportunity to avenge with cold steel their brother’s injuries. She joins with her son in sending thanks for the very kind and generous way the people of this city have attended to his wants, and feels sure they will be amply rewarded for their kindness someday.
