James Robertson, an ex-Canadian
soldier with a war record as long as
your arm, has been chosen by the di'
rectors of Barre post, No. 10, as a
young mar well qualified to act as
steward at the Legion clubhouse on
Church street. II his war record was
the only recommendation available it
would satisfy any particular employer
that its owner was a man of sterling
character and manly ability. On May
81, 1917, in company with James Web
ster and Arthur Deans, two other
Young Scotch American lads, Robertson
crossed the boundary line of Canada
and the Il. S. A. to enlist in the 10th
battery of the Canadian field artillery.
For two years'and two months he wore
the Canadian uniform and stripes, en-
countering during that time some OF
the heaviest and most severe battles
on the French front. He was in the
thick Of the fray at Arras, at Cambria,
at Aimens, at Volenciomes and at Mon
chy. not TO mention a number OF
other skirmishes which he considers
minor affairs now. Though Jimmie
was with the Canadian forces he was
all American and enlisted with the Ca
nadians for quick action. Since being
discharged from army service he has
suffered considerably from an abscess
in his left chest, which necessitated an
operation and the removal of a gland
near his arm. This operation came MS
an after.affect of war service, having
been acquired from exposure while
fighting neal the French lines. Fol-
several weeks he was a patient of the
Barre City hospital and later at the
Prince of Wales hospital in Montreal,
All the while he was held in suspense,
as physicians several times thought
that amputation of the arm was the
only mean of saving his life. To-day
he realizes little handicap from the OPP
Grafton, being fully capable OF per
forming the duties Of the clubhouse
from . p. m. to 0 p. m. each day. II
all the ex-soldiers now members OF
Barre post had been called upon to
vote for a steward, it is a 10 to !
chance Jimmie's name would bring
about a unanimous vote, for he's a
Jolly good fellow with a big wide smile.
