RUSSIAN ORDER FOR CANADIAN

The Grand Duke Michael of Russia has invested Sergt. H. H. Weeks of the Seventh Canadians, formerly of the Vancouver, B.C., police, with the Russian Order of St. George, granted him by the Czar for bravery at Ypres, where he fought with a machine gun unaided for hours.

He also received the British Military Medal for a subsequent act of gallantry. The ceremony took place at the Russian Military Attache's quarters in London, the Grand Duke and Gen. Yermoloff, the Attache, wearing full uniform.

Sergt. Weeks was introduced by Maj. I. W. Dowding, of the Canadian Separation Allowance staff, where Weeks is now working.
