FRED HAMILTON WOUNDED.

Mrs. L. H. Hamilton received a message from Ottawa, Canada, this morning informing her that her son, Fred, had been wounded and that he was /in a Red Cross hospital in London. Fred cabled his father from the London hospital, saying, “Do not worry.” The extent of his injuries are unknown. A cable has been sent to Dr. ,C. E. Johnson, who is in London, asking him to cable full particulars. Pending the receipt of this information his parents are, of course, under the stress of the greatest anxiety as to the extent of the lad’s wounds and the outcome of the injury. Fred has been with the Canadian Motor Machine Gun Brigade for almost two and a half years. He enlisted in Canada in May, 1916. He has seen a great amount of active service and until now has been very lucky, indeed. He was about to be transferred to the American Flying Corps, and a cable was expected daily from him saying that he had been accepted in that service.
