Two More Local Men Are Wounded – Lance-Corp. H.G. Bacon and Pte. C.W. Kerr are Reported Hit

There were two more Brantford casualties in the official list issued by the militia department this morning. Pte. G.W. Kerr and Lance-Corp. H.G. Bacon. Both were members of the Second Contingent, and the coincidence is that both resided on Park Avenue before leaving for overseas. It is also interesting to note that Pte. Howard, who returned last evening and was a member of the same contingent, resided on Park Avenue when he enlisted.

Lance-Corp. Harold Bacon is unmarried, and was a drill-hand at the American Radiator Co. when he enlisted. He resided at 11 Park Avenue, and was for some time a member of the 38th D.R.C. Pte. Charles W. Kerr is also unmarried and a chauffeur. He resided at 155 Park Avenue.
