With the Gun Section
We are in receipt of a letter from Mr. E. C. Dolmage, who had been working with his father on bridge work for the Government in various parts of Temiskaming, telling us that he has enlisted with the Machine Gun of the 80th Battalion, and for the present his address will be Belleville. Pte. Dolmage is of a mechanical turn of mind, and we are sure he will more than make good with the machine gun section of his battalion. We commend him for his determination to fight for his country, and hope that he will return safely, should it be necessary to send the 80th Battalion over the seas. His number is 220158. Like many of the boys at the front, Private Dolmage wants to see The Speaker, for although he is a Huntsville boy, and a loyal one at that, still we believe New Liskeard is his second love.
