That morning their son, Wallace, whom they had not seen for eighteen years, arrived home from Mesopotamia. In 1906, when Mr. and Mrs. Raw, sop left Braunston, Rutland, Eng- land, to come to Canada, "Vallace, then a little boy of six years, was left behind. The steamer Megan- tic brought him to Canada last week, a grown up man with a charming English girl as his wife. * Those eighteen years were full of unusual adventure for the son, who was left in the Old Country. They included the historic period of the Great War and in that he took a worthy part. He joined the British Navy and most of the time was with the Mediterranean fleet as a wireless operator with the wine-sweepers. When the war was over Wallace joined the Air Force and his duties early took him to the Levant, where he remained, He went to Egypt first where he spa)t six months on reconnaissance work. Then he went to Palestine, to Turkey in Asia and finally to Mesopotamia where he spent the last three years. Air Force in Mesopotamia. Britain has three groups of air force in Mesopotamia to keep order and prevent raids by the neighbor- ing Turks. Mr. Rawson was an ob- server with the twelve planes sta- tioned at Mosul, in the north part of the country. THe method used of maintaining the status quo was to bomb the Turkish raiders who crossed the nearby border and Mr. Rawson's work meant daily trips in the air. His planes were of the heavy bombing type and, as obser- ver, he looked after the distribu- tion of the explosives which were in- tended to spread terror among the disturbers of the peace. The Turks are now using planes, too, but they were not entirely defenceless be- tore, and the British planes some- Reunited With His Parents - After 18 Years of Separation Wallace Rawson Served With the British Af Force in Nespote aia--His Camp Wes in View of the Ruin: of Nineah times limped home with bullet holes in their petrol tanks, Bigger planes are also in use in the country. Thus on the air route from Cairo to Bagdad, aeroplanes carrying seventeen soldiers are seen. This route enables transportailon that would take a week on land to be made in eight hours. Postage on a letter by air costs nine pence. The airmen's attention was some- times directed toward the Arabs. A levy was required of them and if they didn't pay up, a féw bombs were tried to remind them of their obligations. It is difficult to understand how white men could work in such tem- peratnres as Mesopotamia suffers. In August, 1920, at Bazrah, one of the other British posts, the thermomeler went up to 148 degrees in the shade. The summer temperatyre at hig own camp averaged from 110 to 120 degrees. The rainy season last- ed from November to January. Manna Still Falls. Mr. Rawson's journeyings took him to many interesting places. He visited the historic spots of Egypt and Palestine. His camp In Meso- potamia was in view of the ruins of Nineveh, where - Noah's tomb still exists. It must be visited in one's bare or stockinged feet, Prisoners from across the border told of a re- gion where manna still fell, and Mr. Rawson secured some for a souvenir. He also visited one of the alleged gites of the Garden of Eden, where a dead tree is carefully preserved as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Mr. Rawson has many an interesting story to tell of this an- clent land. Naturally, Mr. Rawson's family, several younger members of whom he had not seen before, are over- joyed to think that he has come through so many dangers unscath- ed. He has taken his discharge from the air force and he and Mrs. Rawson are planning to make their home in Canada. CAPT. W. I FINNEY DECIDES TG RETIRE As RM.O.
