FAMILY | WHOSE HOME 1S NEAR CONWAY | Five Sons Enlisted--Two Have Been { Killed and Two Wounded--One Still in Trenches. {Canadian families, have a nobler war | record than that of William Unwin, a farmer residing near Conway, of this county, says the Beaver. No less than five sons enlisted as privates in Of this pum- ber two have been killed in action, , |two have been wounded, and the fifth is still in the trenches. A brief re- cord in the order of their ages is as | follows: Harry, the eldest, enlisted as.a private in the 35th. He saw his first 5° | fighting in March last, and on August .| 3rd was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. On the 22nd of Septem- | ber he made the supreme sacrifice, and fell fighting at the head of his | gallant followers, who also suffered heavily. Valentine, the second son, joined the 47th, and crossed with the first He has participated in | nearly all the great battles in which {the Canadians have been engaged, but by marvellous good fortune he | has escaped serious injury and is still at the front with the rank of lieutenant, and wears a military medal for his gallantry. | Fred. at the outbreak of war, was | serving in a British regiment in In- {dia, and joined the expedition under | Gen. Townsend, and saw heavy fight- |ing in Mesopotamia, 'where he was | seriously wounded, and is now recup- | erating ola six months' furlough. Lawrence enlisted in a 'Cyclist [Corps, but his merits as a soldier | were soon, recognized, and he was transferred to the 1st Battalion, with the rank of lieutenant. He has seen much service and acquitted himself 80 creditably that nromotion followed promotion, and he'is now home on a two months' furlough visiting his parents. He very modestly wears the uniform of major, which is his pres- ent rank, and upon his sleeve may be seen a strip of gold braid, indicating that he, too, has been on the casualty list. William joined the 2nd Battalion of the 47th, and has been missing since the second battle of Ypres. He and a companion were despatched under a raking fire to restore tele- phone communication with the front line of trenches. When they had covered about half the distance he begged his comrade, who was a mar- ried man, to proceed no farther, and he volunteered to complete the task alone rather than expose his friend to the ever-increasing hail of shrap- nel and machine-gun fire. He suc- ceeded in connecting up the line, thereby restoring the communication at a very critical juncture, which meant much for the successful prose- cution of the battle and the safety of the men in the trench. The brave defenders stuck to their post to the last minute, when over the line laid by Pte. Unwin came the order to re- tire, but he was not among the num- ber.who took advantage of the order which his bravery had rendered pos- gible. Many military decorations have been awarded for less conspicu- ous acts of bravery. A sixth son, Victor, only sixteen years of age, would gladly persuade the recruiting officer that he is' two years older if it were practicable to do so. Well may Mr. Unwin and his Spartan wife be proud of their gal- lant sons, and well may the old Coun- ty of Lennox and Addington be proud of the record of this family of pat- riotics. . When the proper time ar- rives those in authority should see to it that their heroic sacrifices are suitably recognized. The Beaver ex- tends to the survivors its congratula- tions as well as its sympathies for the bereavements they have sustained. CAUGHT IN SNOW STORM SCHOONER JULIA B. MERRILL HAD TO RETURN TO PORT.
