Three Brantford Men Wounded – Privates Norman Mackenzie, David Linn, and G. Batson Wounded

Three more casualties to Brantford men have been learned of within the past few days through the medium of letters or the casualty list.

Private Norman McKenzie, formerly of Terrace Hill, who left with the Second Contingent, has been wounded according to a letter received in the city from Mrs. McKenzie. About the time he left for overseas Mrs. McKenzie returned to her old home in Scotland. After a rest in Scotland with his family he has returned to the trenches. The casualty of Private Dave Linn was learned of by a card received from him by Mr. Thomas McCormack. On the card he said that he had been admitted to hospital, but was doing well. He formerly played football with the Thistle club and worked at the Waterous Engine Works.

In this morning’s casualty list appears the name of Pte. G. Batson of 111 Murray Street amongst the wounded. Batson left Brantford with the First Contingent.
