Private
Arnold R. Wood
Private Arnold R. Wood died on
the 29th of June at Basingtoke England.
He enlisted at Simcoe with the
133rd Battalion and had been in France for nine months when he was
taken ill in the trenches, operated upon for mastoid abscess and
sent to England, where he suffered a relapse and died after a
second operation.
His parents, whose home is in
London, were able to be with him.
Private Wood will be remembered
here, as in May 1914 he came from England to his relatives, Mr.
and Mrs. Owen Stone, and remained in the neighborhood of Walsh
until he enlisted.
His parents speak in the highest
terms of the great skill displayed by the medical staff of the
hospital, and also of the untiring and skillful services of the
nursing staff. All who have sons and friends in this hospital, or
who may later be patients there, may rest assured that all that
skill, science and patient nursing can do, will be done for them.
