Willard Dunbar, Severely Wounded
Brought Back to America

Brought Back to America
| Mrs. Emma Dunbar and Miss Sadie
Colvin have been in New York City at
The Debarlation Hospital visiting
their son and uncle for week. Mrs.
Dunbar at this time learned how her
son was wounded on the field of battle
in France, the left leg being terribly
torn apart with gun shell. 1t is said
that he will never have the use Of his
leg again. He was wounded about 4
o'clock in the afternoon and laid On
the battle field till the next day, being
able to take but one step when he fell
to the ground. He laid on the field
all night and when morning came the
frost was an inch thick on the wound
ed man, that being the only thing
that saved his life. He was taken into
camp by an American soldier who
bandaged his leg with pieces of cloth
and a few days later doctor fixed his
leg the best he knew how.
Mr.. Dunbar was brought from
France and landed in New York City
May 25th, 1919. Miss Adee, who is
one Of the head women Of the hospital,
said that all day Saturday they
thought Mr.. Dunbar would not live
until night, but since his mother and
niece have been to see him he is gain
ing every day, and expects to be NOV
ed to Fort Ontario, N. y, any day
now They started him week ago
last Sunday but found his splint was
too long to allow him to be placed in
the car, SO the wounded man was TAX
en- back to his sleeping place once
more.
Mrs. Dunbar reports that her son,
who has not been moved from his bed
in nine months, is nothing but frame
of bones with the skin drawn over
them. 1t will be some time before he
will be relieved from the hospital.
