AMPUTATION CASES FORM ORGANIZATION

Among the veterans' organizations one of those which is making the most rapid advances towards covering its own special field of operations is the Amputation Association of the Great War.  The membership consists entirely of amputation and blinded cases, and the purpose of the organization is to especially look after these cases in a direct way, which the men feel is impossible when left in the hands of existing organizations.

There are at present about 350 members.  The headquarters of the association is at the Maple Leaf Club, College street [Toronto], and the secretary is A. Sutcliffe.   The association will shortly send to Ottawa a deputation to further its claims in regard to increased pensions.  It will consist of one blind man, one arm amputation case and one leg case.
