Mr.
Jim Anderson of this city, a member of Company K, is now in a hospital in
London suffering from the wound which was made by a piece of shell. This
missile passed through his leg and scraped the bone and may require some time
to heal.
He
writes his parents that he will not be able to return to the trenches for some
time to come.
The
statement about the cigarette case having prevented him from receiving a bad
wound was true in a measure. It probably deflected the piece of shell so that
his leg will be saved and probably his life, but it did not stop the piece of
metal as was generally supposed.
