Invalided Men Are Coming Home

Privates E. Harrington, W. Clawsey, Fred Jefferis, and E. Wreaks Returning

Four Brantford soldiers who have been invalided home from the front are at the present time in Toronto on their way home. The men are: Pte. Ernest Harrington, 116 Walnut; William Clawsey, 23 Drummond; Fred Jefferis, 43 High and Edward Wreaks, 226 Park Avenue. The returned men are at present in the care of the Military hospital commission but are expected to leave for Brantford some day this week.

Pte. Harrington, went overseas with the First Contingent. He is an old Royal Navy man serving twelve years. He was wounded in April, 1915. Unmarried, 33 years of age and a laborer is what The Expositor records say about him.

Pte. Clawsey, 23 Drummond Street went overseas with a draft from the 25th Brant Dragoons in the 2nd Contingent, and was attached to a Canadian Mounted Rifle regiment. He was wounded on June 12 last.

The address of Pte. Fred Jefferis is given as 43 High Street, but was 30 High when he enlisted. He is a laborer by trade and a single man. For two years he was connected with the 38th D.R.C. and went across with the 1st Contingent.

No particulars as to who Edward Wreaks is, is to be found in the Expositor records.
