Four Veterans Arrived in City on Thursday – Sergt. W.A. Lane, Lance-Corp. R. Shellard, Privates. A.W. Tyo and A.C. Lark – Given a Welcome

Four more veterans of the great struggle raging in Europe – Sergt. William Arthur Lane, Lance Corp. Robinson Shellard, Pte. Arthur William Tyo, and Pte. Alfred Charles Lark, were welcomed back to their homes here yesterday. The Soldiers’ Aid Commission had an exceedingly busy time, three of them arriving home in the afternoon and one in the evening. All were given a good reception at the station by the commission, which was out in force, and a throng of citizens. The 3.57 G.T.R. train was 20 minutes late and the throng at the station prevented any speeches. Lance-Corporal Shellard and Privates Tyo and Lark came in on the train. Sergt. Lane arrived home on the 7.32 and in the station speeches of welcome were delivered by Ald. J.S. Dowling of the Soldiers’ Aid Commission, and Capt. (Rev.) Jeakins, secretary of the G.W.V.A. Pte. Tyo had to walk with the aid of crutches, and Sergt. Lane had one arm that was practically useless.
