Amongst the latest to be accepted for the front are Messrs. C. Bate and L. Langley, who were both apprenticed at the Queen's Park gardens, under Mr. John Oliver, the curator. Both are good workmen, and their places will be hard to fill. Still they have done the right thing to come to their country's aid. Applications are now called for lads to take their places.

Red Cross Wounded and Missing Enquiries Bureau Correspondence
Stewart J McA Pte 5210 57th Btn
Killed in action 3/4/17
I knew casualty. He was a man about 5 ft 6 inc, well built, medium complexion, about 25 years of age. He had already been discharged and had re-enlisted. Casualty was sitting in a German dug-out Morchies, on the sunken road between Lagnicourt and Beaumetz. An H E shell exploded on the top of the dugout, killing casualty instantly. I had just left the dug-out and was about 15 yds away when the explosion took place. His chief wounds were about the legs and body. He was buired about 10 yds from where he fell on the Sunken Road near Morchies and a cross was erected with his name and number on it. I was an eye-witness".
