FLIGHT LT. C. W. L. CALVERT.

The name of another young Toronto aviator appears in the casualty list. Flight Lieut. C. W. L. Calvert, R.N., is reported as suffering from a gunshot wound in the foot.

The young aviator enlisted in the Royal navy and learned to fly at the Curtis Flying School. He has just reached his 20th birthday. At the time of his wound he had only been flying in France for a few weeks. The Admiralty reported the news with surprising promptitude, his father, Mr. C. E. Calvert, 34 Huntley street, being notified the day after his son had been hit.

In a letter home, Lieut. Calvert stated that though the Germans generally fight the allied fliers in groups of three to one, they get nervous and scatter.
