Good For Joe A letter from Major Pollock of the 147th Battaliou, published Li»t week in a contemporary, includes an interesting bitofneas for Flesherton people, and more especially for ihe members of The .\dvaiice 5t..tl'. It concerns Sergt. .Joe LeCiird, foreman in this ottice when he enlisted, ai.u eldest son of Mr. and .Mrs. Harry LeGaid of the suburbs. .Joe h.« made good, and we congratulate him heartily on his promotion. We a'l hsvc great reason to I e pi.iud of ilia number and ([uality of the boys who have gone from Flesherton and vic'iiiiy. Following is the item referred to : " Sergt. Joe Letjard ot the old U company has also done siMne good work and proved his tiKhting and leadini; capacity so pre-eminently that his com- pany Commander recoinnieiided him for a commission, and now he is in England on a course, and when it is completed he will return to the battalion as an officer. So far as I know he is the first of tht ] 147lh boys to get his coinmisKiou on the deld and it is certainly a sional honor." Over The Top i !
