Falkingham was born in Nor- folk Co., near Simcoe, but Durham and vicinity can claim him as he was but two weeks old when he moved here with his parents. His mother died a number ot years ago, but he has ever been true to his And his service has been no sinecure Three times he was wounded at the front, sent to hospital, and on recovery faced the unholy music again. His place is now empty and it is just such empty places that appeal so strongly at the present time for recruits to take up the banners that have fallen from the hands of those who have made the supreme sacrifice. And these memories will be precious. Willir, as he was affectionately called, was only 23 years of age. he was one ol the first to volunteer within a week ot the outbreak of the war, almost three years ago. His cheery letters home. some of which we published. ttsl showed that his realization of the objects of the war and his own position was clear and distinct. He had the true soldier instinct and bravely has he died as he bravely served. l So the glory of the "latest big push" against the enemy spells gloom in one home amongst us, and that home will have the sincere sympathy of a wide circle of friends, as they try to exchange thoughts of the living for memories of the dead. On Monday evening Mr. W. L. Falk- ingham received the sad telegram that has brought and is bringing, sorrow into so many homes. In substance it read: "Deep- ly regret to inform you that Pte. Wm. R.

He was killed instantly by shrapnel from a shell which exp!oded near while he was on duty deepening a trench. Two others were killed by the same shell. His remains were taken out from the line and are buried in Sans En Gohelle ceme- tery, the grave being registered as Plot 2, Row B; Grave 3. He was killed on the 9th July, 1917. --- - Lieut Pinkerton left Toronto in Sept 1915 and told of the horrors of that winter waiting on artillery. In Spring of 1916 matters improved, but the Canadians he said were usually pitted against the best German regiments and the Huns were taught that the Canadians were the best soldiers in the world, a statement received with great applause.

The women excelled in cruelty, When some fevered and wounded British prisoners asked for water, the women filled they m Juth with sand. _ Capt (Dr) Stanley Ball, son of R. J. Ball, M. P., gave a graphic account of war experiences he had come through. He went to India, was at Delhi on Indian Mutiny ground, then to Bombay, across Arabian Sea and up the Tigris river over the ground traversed by Gen Townsend, who had to surrender at Kut. Most graphically he depicted the wiles and thievery of the Arabs, the barb-wiring processes they had to undertake at night for protection, and gave credit for success in reaching Bag-dad and beyond solely to saperiority in artillery. One desperate venture was the crossing of the river in mate, in the teeth of the enemy's fire, 10 mm mm 12 to fight in each boat. l There were musical interludes also : the band furnished patriotic airs, Miss Irwin gave a piano solo and was accompanist.
