Raymond, son of J. A. Millar, whose return from France was noted last week, served in the Forestry corps which was stationed in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Their business was to cut down trees and saw them into railway ties and planks for roads. The trees they cut are similar to the pitch-pine of the Southern states. They worked continuously, being divided into day and night shifts, for the demand was greater than they could keep up with. The machinery was Canadian and far ahead of any sawing outfit in France. The men were well used and Raymond speaks well of his treatment on the voyage over.

The following returned soldiers have arrived - Jas. Welch, Kilbain, F. R. Maxwell, Huntingdon, Lloyd McWilliams, Huntingdon.

Ernest McNown arrived home on Sunday, with the 13^th Batt., looking the picture of health and younger looking than when he enlisted Sept. 1914. He expects to be back on the road in a week or two for his old firm, Mathewson Sons.
