Captain Melvin G. Caldwell of the Hornet’s Nest Military Company will undergo and operation at the Presbyterian hospital within the next day or two to relieve an ailment resulting from wounds sustained while fighting in France. Captain Caldwell will receive hospital treatment under direction of the United States government.
High explosive shells were responsible for the wound sustained by the Charlotte military company commander, and which caused a defect to the left side. He underwent an operation while in France, but the ailment was not wholly relieved. He expects to be confined for perhaps two months.
