Pte. Fred W. Stow Was Wounded – Recent Severe Fighting at St. Eloi Adds Another Name to Casualty List

Still another Brantford man has been placed on the casualty list from the recent severe fighting at St. Eloi, in the wounding of Pte. Frederick William Stow. This wounding appears in this morning’s casualty list but the next of kin is given as England.

Pte. Stow enlisted with the 19th Battalion, in Major “Bert” Newman’s company. While his parents reside in England, Pte. Stow is a nephew of Mr. and Mrs. A.W. King, of 22 Emilie Street, and he was living here before enlisting. He is a cousin of Pte. Alfred King, of the Frontier Guard at the Falls, formerly of The Expositor. No particulars have been received locally as to the extent of Pte. Stow’s injuries.

A Farewell

The members of Trinity Church Girls’ Friendly Society held a farewell last evening at the church for the members of the church who will leave on Friday for Toronto with the active service contingent of the Dufferin Rifles. Each of the six members of the church who are leaving was presented with a testament, having previously received a Bible from the Men’s Bible Class. After the presentations, the remainder of the evening was spent in music, games and special entertainment, closing with the serving of dainty refreshments. The men are Ptes. Geo. Brooks, B. Smith, F.W. Stow, R. Ratcliffe, J. Benson and T. Cooper.
