Pte. Rohrer to be Returned to Canada

Private Ray Rohrer who enlisted at Burford, where he was an electrician, and who went overseas with the 215th Battalion, is now in England, convalescing from a severe wound in the shoulder. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. Rohrer, Aylmer have received a letter from a friend who entertained Pte. Rohrer at Guildford, stating that he would probably be returned to Canada, as it would be some time before he would get the full use of the injured shoulder. The letter was a most kindly one and showed the great wealth of kindness bestowed upon Canadian lads in the Old Land by many who are giving their all to that end. The writer was Mr. Martin Williamson of Guildford. Many Brantford friends will be glad to know that Pte. Rohrer is improving and will probably soon be home.
