Two Casualties from Brantford – Pte. George Parker and Pte. George Dottridge Were Wounded

Hardly a day passes without the appearance in the casualty lists of the names of one or more Brantford men, either killed, wounded or a prisoner of war.

Yesterday’s list of the wounded contained the name of Private George Parker, 73 Strathcona Avenue, Brantford, Ont. No mention of any person by that name who enlisted from that address could be found in The Expositor’s records of the men who have left from Brantford.

Private George Dottridge of London, formerly proofreader for the Expositor, is at present in hospital at Portsmouth, England, with a bullet in the lungs. He is reported to be doing well.
