Mr. and Mrs. Emanuel Green
of Kent street, Simcoe, are rejoicing over a telegram received by
them early on Monday morning from their son, Trumpeter George Green,
conveying to them the information that he had landed at Halifax.
It is rather a coincidence
that he should land on Peace Day, when it is considered that he was
among the score of men who enlisted in the early days of August
1914, and left his home on 19 Aug 1914 for Valcartier.
He served in France from Feb
1915, experiencing the dreadful winter at Salisbury Plain. He has
continuously been on active service until a few months ago, when he
was sent to Blighty for treatment for a painful condition of the
leg.
A day or two before he
sailed he was married to Miss Winnifred, the second daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. A. Wastie of Henwood Farm, Cumnor, near Oxford.
Trooper Green is expected in
town within a day or two, should all go well, and Mrs. Green will
follow her husband later.
