“They say it was a shocking Sight
during the pas* few months have been
and death befelltwo of that happy com- pany. And as the hardships of the con- flict lessened,thoughts and fond- anticipa- tions were directed tothe day of the home coming.
For some time it was known that a
number of invalided Canadian soldiers were in England and recently a despatch announced tha Private Frederick Waye, formely of the 82nd Battalion, and J oseph: McCarthy of the 4th Reg. Canadian Artillery had ar- rived in Quebec and would leJ.ve for home on Sunday afternoon.
In Moncton the boys were given a cor-
dial welcome on all sides and all eyes were turned to the “Boys from the Transvaal" as they were favoritely called. The train from St John was a few minutes late. At-3o`clock the train con- taining Messrs. Waye and McCarthy pulled out of Moncton depot. At Shediae a large crowd had assembled to welcome them on their ‘ journey homeward At Point duChene all were anxious to shake hands, and to hold short conversations on the war. When the Northumberland reached Sum~ merside cheer upon cheer rent the air from the large throng that had gathered.
At the station another crowd waited to
do the heroes honor.
At Kensington the boys were asked for
and the ladies presented each with a bou- quet of cut flowers. When the train reached Hunter River, the home of Priv- ate Waye hundreds of people had assembled with torch lights, etc and although Waye intended to visit the city he was carried to his home by the delighted citizens. As the express neared Charlottetown torpedoes xploded and thousands of loyal British itizens had~ assembled to tender a wel come. The crush inside the depot was dangerous. Outside stood the militiato re :eive while a barouche was provided for Private McCarthy. ,After a most cor- dialwelcome which lasted some minutes hearty cheers were given and the pro- cession moved,headed by the band. Atthe square tire works were much in evidence and the Mayor on b :half o' the City wel- comed Private McCar;hy Col.Moore on behalf of the Militia extended a. welcome tia and it welcome was also extended on behalf of the navy. At the ;o'iclusion of each item three cheers were lustily given
and the band played -popular airs.
