Sgt. Anderson was with Frank until he was loaded in an ambulâ€" ance and taken back to hospital. He assured me Frank did not sufâ€" fer any pain and that they joked as we all do about returning home. We were all so sure Frank soon would return to us, well and strong again. Frank was moved immediately to an RA.P. around the corner where medical aid was adminisâ€" tered by a Capt. Maloney, the Medical Officer for the South Alâ€" berta Regt. 37 His jolly personality is definitely missing from his section, but the memory of Frank will never leave them, He was also an inspiration to the new members of our ranks in the fact that he was wounded before and returned to the field of action. The day Frank was woundâ€" ed, his section and one company from our Regiment were working forward and had just occupied the town of Lochen. So far very litâ€" tle resistance was offered by the enemy, and as the Company were consolidating their position, the enemy started to shell the church spire. One of the shells missed and landed in a parked jeep near where Frank was standing. ‘The explosâ€" ion wounded Frank and a chum of his, Joe Macan, the latter only getâ€" ting minor wounds. I am Frank‘s Platoon Commandâ€" er, and although I have not always been with the carrier P. 8, I have known Frank for some time. Frank will be missed by all who knew him and had the pleasure of workâ€" ing with him during this long struggle. Please allow me to introduce myself, and pass on the whole hearted feeling of my platoon reâ€" garding the death of one of our dear soldiers, your son. Dear Mrs. Rose Toth: Offering my prayers for the reâ€" pose of his soul and to you my deepest sympathy. I am, Very truly yours in J. C., _ Rene‘ Belanger, H/Capt., R.C, Chaplain.
