Pte. Joseph Carlton, 24, son of Mrs. Sarah Carlton, North Grimsby township, and whose wife is the former Edna Jeffery, of Vinemount, was reported missing in action August 5. In letters home the previous day he described the ruin of Caen observed as his regiment passed through to the front. Pte. Carlton's mother has made one of the greatest contributions among war mothers of the peninsula. Her husband served with the Mad Fourth throughout the last war, and this is the third occasion on which she has been advised a son was a casualty in this war. Pt. John Carlton was reported wounded and taken prisoner with the R.H.L.I. (W.R.) at Dieppe, and later was reported to have died of his wounds in a German hospital camp. Warrant Officer James Carlton was reported missing on air operations overseas in April, 1943 and in May, the same year, was reported prisoner of war. Another son, Norman, is at home.
