Massey-Harris Convalescent Home in England for Canadian Soldiers: Bulletin No. 17, 1918

…While Pte. Percy Rowley (Brantford Factory), of the 125th Battalion, was in Manchester recently, on leave, he was called by name when passing an internment camp. It turned out that a former Brantfordite who had at one time worked in the Massey-Harris plant there was interned. The former Brantfordite asked for a smoke.
