victims of the Halifax explosion. This hospital at that time had as patients soldiers civilians, women and chill dren, all victims of the explosion. While on duty at Hospital No. 6, pr. PYrney attracted the attention of his superior officers and was assigned to the famous Pine Hill Military Hos pital, which specialized in all nervous diseases, especially shell shock.
 After\ serving at Pine HiIl pr. Purney received the much coveted orders for active duty as senior metii- cal officer on a transport. This duty at that time was especially perilOus, because of the concentrated subma- rine warfare being Waged upon trans ports from America to England. The "fu' epidemic was running wild at that time also. Working night and day was the lot that befell Dr. Pur- ney. His ship alone at one time had 800 cases of "fu' out of 2,OO0 men on board. Off the coast of England a submarine was sighted and there was much excitement on board, es- pecially among the sick. A smoke screen was thrown around the con- voy and this form of protection al- ways served 10 quiet the eXCitem ent.
 pr. Purney has only words of praise for the department of the sick in such cases. The discipline among the soldiers at times like these vas also faultless. Bringing the wounded back to Canada had it's pleasant side, according to the captain. for the men were so happy because they were go- ing home. The soldiers had been through so much that they very sel- dom became excited over subma rine scaAes. The second trip over as a medical man was the most eventrul for pr. Purney, because he fell q victim to the flu" and only gave LID work after repeated warnings from his friends.
 Remaining in England to con- valesce from the "fu," the doctor was assigned to the Canadian Army Medi- cal Corps training depot at Shorn- cliff, England. At this /depot there were 75,000 Canadians, all training for some branch of the army. After receiving special training for Car adian medical work, Dr. Purney was assigned to the 11th Reserve Bat -taIion at Seaford. Working there for R few weeks the doctor was ordered gba ok to Shorncliff to take an instruc- tive course to qualify for the position RsE senior medical officer upon the I8u pletion of which he was to be an Instructor at Canada's largest camp in England. Within a month after he reported at Shornclff, Dr. Purney was ordered to France to inspect the ICanadian Army at the front The doctsr's headquarters were at Amiens, and from there he trave!cd all up and down the English front Upon returning back to England, Dr. Purney was assigned to the Canadian Special Hospital at Mitley in Surrey untilshe was ordered back to Canada July 4. The boat arrived at Halifax July F, 1919, and tho doctor was forced to wait almost two months to secure his discharge from the army While on furlOugh Dr. Purney visited s at points in England and Scotland. Dr. Purney will resume his practice Ain this city as soon as he is able.
