Veterans Who Arrived Home – Men Reported to Soldiers’ Aid Commission Were Welcomed

A number of returned heroes arrived home last night, five returning at 4.30 and a number at 9.45 p.m. last night. Secretary MacDonald of the Soldiers’ Aid Commission was on hand to meet the trains, as well as relatives and friends of the soldiers returning. Those who returned at 4.30 were Private A.R. Springall, of the 1st Battalion who left here with the 36th; Corp. Emmett, 4th Battalion, 107 Spring Street; Pte. McQuinn, 38 Bruce Street, R.C.D.; Pte. F. Harrington, 153 Elgin Street 1st Battalion, formerly of 36th. On the 9.45 train, Pte. Burke, 111 West Mill Street and Cecil Benning, 21 Maple Avenue, arrived with others whose names could not be received owing to the welcome with its attendant excitement given to them by local friends and relatives.
