Two Officially and Two Unofficially Reported to Have Been Wounded During the Fighting Around Ypres
The name of Private Robert Anthony, No. 11325, was in a casualty list this morning, but when an Expositor representative called on Mrs. Anthony she had received no word. The last word that she received from her husband was to the effect that he was returning to the trenches after having been in the hospital for some time from ptomaine poisoning, from eating tinned meat.
Private Robert Anthony was a moulder, employed at the Hartley Foundry Company plant, and resided up to the time he left with the Dufferin Rifles first contingent, at 54 Brant Street. He was a veteran of the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders, having been in that regiment for nine years. He had been a resident of Brantford for three years previous to enlistment. He is married, his wife now residing at 259 Brock Street. There are no children. He is a native of Bonnybridge, Scotland.
