Are Returning Home
Included in a party of returned men invalided home from England who arrived at Quebec last evening are three Brantford men. Glen Douglas Millard, Fred Thomas Palmer and George Tear.
Private Glen Douglas Millard went overseas with the 84th Battalion and was wounded last September. It is thought probable that the Palmer is Corp. Palmer, an old Veteran of the South African war who went overseas immediately following the outbreak of war in August 1914. G. Tear of Echo Place went overseas with the third contingent.

Veterans Returning
In all probability three more returned soldiers will slip back into the city this evening. They are Private G.D. Millard, 297 Nelson Street, Gunner F. Palmer, 16 Northumberland Street, and C.Q.M.S. G. Tear, of Echo Place. Word was received from the Military Hospitals Commission in Toronto today that the returned heroes would likely leave tonight on the 6 o’clock G.T.R. train.

Two Invalids Returned Home – Pte. G.D. Millard Wounded by Shrapnel in the Lungs – C.Q.M.S. Tear Returns
Twice yesterday was the Soldiers’ Aid Commission disappointed as two men who have nobly taken their share in the struggle raging across the seas slipped quietly back into the city after having been invalided home. Both men made an unostentatious entrance into the city and missed the receptions prepared for them.
Private Glen Douglas Millard is home on six months furlough. He was wounded by shrapnel in his right lung at the battle of St. Eloi. He returned home on the 3.52 G.T.R. train from Hamilton instead of on the 7.32 as expected. His home is at 297 Nelson Street.
Suffering from a weak back C.Q.M.S. George Tear has also been invalided home. He went overseas with the 36th Battalion. He came in on the radial from Hamilton yesterday afternoon, dropping off at Echo Place, where his children are residing with his wife’s sister, Mrs. Davidson.
