Broke a Rib

A nasty accident occurred to Pte. Harvey Wakefield Priest, machine gun section 84th Battalion, while the men were on parade at the Agricultural Park yesterday morning. During the rest period Priest, while sliding with some of the other men, fell and cracked one of his ribs. He was taken to the hospital and attended by Capt. McGainty, M.E. of the battalion. The injury was found to be not of a serious nature, and he is doing nicely today.
