News of members

The Society now has seven members on active service whom we will consider in order of seniority.

Albert Olver, R.C.O.C., has been promoted to the rank of Captain. In a most interesting recent letter he tells much about British railways in wartime. Not only Canadians, but natives (sic!) occasionally open the carriage door on the wrong side and in the black out gaily step out into a four foot drop—very disconcerting!

F.H. (Joe) Howard, R.C.O.C., is, we hasten to say, a second Lieutenant and not a Cadet as was erroneously stated in the last issue. Subaltern Howard is now at the Ordnance Training Centre in Barriefield but we would recommend correspondents to address him at his home address in Toronto until he is located with a unit.

Gunner John Wood, R.C.A., has not been heard from for some months but he is believed to be still in Vancouver. He is, of course, in a garrison artillery unit.

Gunner John MacNab enlisted early in May and thus the Society lost its very capable treasurer. He was able to attend the meeting of May 8 and it is hoped he will be on hand for many more.

Private Harry Wales, 48th Highlanders of Canada, is now with his unit in the field. He was married at Christmas time and the Society hastens to extends its congratulations and best wishes.

Private Alan Maitland, R.C.O.C., is still in training at Barriefield. He manages to get up to Toronto to attend a surprisingly large number of the Society's meetings and it is hoped this will continue to be the case.

Aircraftsman (Class 2) Charles Bridges, R.C.A.F., has never contacted the Society since he went on active service in January. Consequently no information is available as to his whereabouts or activities. It is regretted that contact has thus been lost with one of the oldest and best-known members of the Society.
