Simcoe,
June 15 -- Private Fred Ball and Private James Holden arrived from
the front this morning and received a civic welcome at the depot.
Pte. Ball, though he left
one foot somewhere in France, was the first man to alight
from the coach. He took the wheel of the family automobile and drove
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. A. Ball down town.
Pte. Holden joined his
family of seven children when he and Mrs. Holden reached the
family residence, and even the despised canine joined in the
rapturous glee. It was a great noon hour for the kiddies, lads in
their teens and the grown-up daughter.
Both these men left with
the 133rd.
