Capt.
John Jaques has cabled his family here that he has reached England
on his way home from Egypt.
Joining the Imperial Army
early in 1916, he was sent with a veterinary unit to Saloniki,
later being transferred to Allenby's Army.
He was with it at
Jerusalem and at Jericho, and served until June of this year, when
he was seized by enteric fever.
While on the
Mediterranean, his ship was torpedoed.
He picked up a label of a
can of tomatoes put up by the Simcoe Canning Co., upon the
battlefield near Gara, and sent it to
Mr. W. L. Innes.
Capt. Jaques is expected
to reach Simcoe shortly.
