Leg Shattered is Not Downhearted – Pte. A. Money Writes Home in Cheerful Vein Despite Injury
Mrs. Henry Money, 25 South Street, has received a cheery letter from her son, Pte. A. Money, now in an English hospital with a shattered leg, caused by the explosion of an aeroplane bomb dropped on a rest camp. Five were killed and 29 wounded by the explosion. Pte. A. Money left Brantford with the 36th Battalion, but was transferred to the R.C.R.’s. The letter is as follows:
Dear Mother and Father,
Just a few lines, hoping to find you all quite well. I am sorry to say that I was not quite so well up to a couple of days ago, but am feeling better since. They have taken my splint off and put another kind on, which is much more comfortable. Another thing, we had it quite hot here all at once, but it rained last night and is cooler today, although the sun is out bright. I must tell you I got your parcel on May 18, in good condition. The chocolate was all right. Tell Bill, and thank you all for it. I got a letter from Bert the other day. He was very busy cooking and wanted to know if I had enough of it or if I should want to go out again when I was all right. I am not downhearted and when I am quite well I hope to hit back, if it is not over by then.
Well I must close now, with best love to all, I remain,
Your loving son,
A. Money

Cainsville Hero Returns
The home coming of Pte. A. Money was marked by a happy family gathering at his home at Cainsville on Wednesday evening. Relatives to the number of between 30 and 40 were present to welcome him. Pte. Money is looking well, but has to get about on crutches yet. He is home on a ten days' leave before going into a convalescent home in Toronto. The doctor informed him that it will be fully six months before he will be able to get around much without the aid of crutches. He came quietly home on the B. and H. radial, none of his friends knowing that he was on the way, as the telegram he sent advising them of his coming had not arrived. He had asked for his papers to be classified. Pte. Money is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Money, 25 South Street, city.
