Word has been received by Mrs. John Turyman 73 Elizabeth Street, bearing the news that her nephew, John Pullen, an old Brantford boy, has been wounded in the ear by gunshot and is in the 47th General Hospital. He went away over four years ago with the Royal Canadian Regiment from Toronto, and was the only member of his regiment to win a decoration. Private Pullen was gassed once and was in the hospital one time before with a broken hand.
