Norwich bulletin., 1917-01-12
FORMER NORWICH MEN
 JOIN CANADIAN HIGHLANDERS
John and David Lumsden Fighting for
 Their Country in World Wide War.

News has been received here of the enlistment in the Canadian Highland CTS of two former Norwich residents,
 John Lumsden and his son David. MT. Lunsden came from Cupar, FffeShire, Ccotland, the birthplace of Archibald Mitchell and several other residents of Norwich. MT. Lumsden has relatives living there, including an uncle and cousins, though all his immediate fam fly live in America. His mother and sister live in Meriden and an uncle in Norwich. During the fall of 1915 news was received here that his relatives in Cupar had in common with the entire Scottish nation responded nobly. one of his uncle's family furnishing a full dozen fighters, four sons, six grandsons and two sons-in Jaw, a rec ord of which any family might be
 proud and one not equalled by many, two foremost Scottish newspapers, The Weekly Scotsman and The Peoples Journal. The latter paper, which is published in Cupar, a copy of which was received by The Bulletin. had a picture of this family, and in the arti- cle which accompanied the picture it was stated that several of them had also served with distinction during the are serving in The Black Watch and have repeatedly been mentioned in orders for distinction in service. Some have risen from the ranks to Sergeants and some have received the D.. c. M. (diStin guished conduct medal) A number of them have been wounded at different times, being invalided home only to return to their commands on their recovery. Last summer it was reported (unofficially) that one of them had been killed. This has been off, ciaIly confirmed by the latest news received, which states that Sergeant John Lumsden was killed while in ac- tfon in July last. Sergeant Lumsden had been mentioned for gallant con duct, especially for throwing a bridge across, under shell fire, for the pas sage of the wounded to the rear, and also at another time for carrying to a place of safety his company com mander when the latter was severely wounded.
