' -o - PAGE FIVE HE WAS AT LENS, HILL 70 AND FRESNOY,- Enlisted When He Was Fourteen-- Has Grown A Foot Taller and Has Gained 38 Pounds Since He Was In The Army. = Watertown, N.Y. Times ; Private George Edward Bristow, Kingston, Ont., probably the young- est of the Canadian veterans of the great war, arrived in this city Satur- day from Hamilton, to visit his two sisters, Mrs, E. J. Healy and Miss Emma Bristow, Private Bristow is sixteen years of age. He will not be seventeen years old until April 23rd, Bristow enlisted in Dec. 12th, 19- 15, at the age of fourteen years. Be- cause of his weight and his height the succeeded in passing the physical examinations. At that time he weighed approximately 130 pounds and was about five feet tall The examining physicians slightly doubted his age and would not let him go an infantryman. He was en- listed at Hamilton as bugler in Com- pany A, fourth platoon, City of Ham- ilton Battalion. Private Bristow has grown: con- siderably since his enlistment more than two years ago. At the present time he stands slightly over six feet tall and tips the scales at 168. 'De- spite his height and weight it can easily be seen that he is very young. Following his enlistment in De- cember he remained in training in Canada until July 1916. The bat- talion then sailed for England where he stayed until April 1917. He tried several times to get drafted in ; the battalions leaving for France, but each time the staff officer said he was too young, and would not allow him to go with his battalion. Final- . ly, however, he was drafted as an in- fantryman in the 19th battalion in | April, 1917. | Shortly after the arrival of the { battalion in France he participated in a battle at Fresnoy, on May 9th. i He escaped without injury. On | August 15th however, he was serious- ly injured mm a gas attack near Hill 70. A platoon of Canadians num- | bering sixty were resting in a wine cellar of a shattered house of a French peasant, when a gas shell struck the place. The men beat a hasty retredt from the cellar but ; When they reached the exterior mahy of them swooned, overcome by gas. | The enemy was half a mile away. | 'Private Bristow was removed to a base hospital, He was in an un- conscious condition and was blind for more than two weeks. He was later removed to the Shrubland Park hos- pital in Suffolk, where he remained up to November. He then was sent to the Canadian Convaléscent .hos- pital at Epsom where he was a month. He left England the first part of 1918 and arrived at Hamilton in February He applied for his dis- chgrge at Toronto, and was readily given it, 'He possesses several badges showing service. He is still suffer- ing from the effects of the gas at- tack, and it is 'difficult for him to sleep, being quite nervous, ; While in Cuffley,, near London, Eng, in Sept. 1916, he witnessed a most spectacular battle between an English airplane and a German zep- pelin, Capt. Robinson, who is now a prisoner in Germany succeeded in bringing down the Tirst zeppelin of the war. Private Bristow said that the destroyed zeppelin came down in a ball of flame and the sight could be seen for miles away. Capt Rob- inson was given the Victoria Cross. Private Bristow spent some time in the trenches. At one time he said while the company was assuming the offensive near Lens, thirty Germans came out of their trenches, and hold- ing up their hands, walked to the Canadian dugouts and surrendered. Private Bristow lead the men to a cellar where they were kept - for a short time They were then taken farther back of the lines and used in carrying ammunition, The young Canadian is the 'posses- Sor of a German cap which he took from one of the prisoners. He also Secured a number of German post cards. Bristow has a number of photographs taken of himself when .he enlisted. He was then in knicker- bockers, which he had to discard be- fore .applymg for enlistment. His father, Fred . Bristow, resides ' in Kingston. MAN IN THE "PEN."

The Cost of Tea, Owing te the 'war Ceylon teas are now costing 14%c per pound freight and about 3c war insurance, while freight on Japan teas includ- insurance is only 4¢ per pound. Japan teas are the only cheap teas to-day. Before the war, Ceylon teas were laid down in Kingston for 3c pound, including 'LAID OVER FOR A MONTH ---- (Continued from Page 3.) A report was also received from Inspector 'Houghton, who recently visited the [Collegiate Institute and who had good words to say of the work being carried on by the teach- ing staff. Some new equipment he recommended 1s ' that of {fa filing | cabinet for the commercial depart- {ment and blinds for the phyles de- | partment. The management c¢om-| mittee was instructed to take up! these matters. -------- Report on Convention. Before the board adjourned the members were given a most interest- ing review of the meetings held in Toronto last week thy the trustees' section of 'the Ontario Edueational Association, at which Trustee J. G. Elliott had the honor of attending as the board's representative, Mrustee Elliott reported the an- nual gathering to 'have been most successful, and gave his fellow- members the benefit of the-impres- sions he had picked up by his at- tendance at this most important gathering. 'Among other things he mentioned the address of the presi- dent, Dr. Waugh, who had spoken of the early age at which some child- rent were allowed to quit school. One reason for this was the desire of the parents to get their children earning money as soon as possible. Many left for work after they got as far as the third book. The speaker referred to excellent addresses giv-| en by Dean Coleman, of Queen's University, and Inspector Putman, and also Dr. Foght, an expert on school 'work in the United States. Trustee 'Elliot 'stated 'that Dr. Foght will 'be in Buffalo in the néar future and that he promised to make a visit to Kingston. He suggested that the Canadian .Club extend him an invitation to speak 'here. His ad- dress on school work wonld be most interesting and profitable. i Trustee Elliott referred to various matters taken up at the convention, | and at the close of his address the Board tendered him a vote of thanks, on motion of Trustees (Renton and Anglin. 3 {Chairman Farréll ~was in the chair, and the other members pre- sent were: Trustees Anglin, Camp- | bell, (Craig, ~Elliott, Lemmon, Mac- donald, Macnee, Meek, Monk, Mills, MoKay and Renton.
