Howard Mellor, formerly a setgeant
major in the Canadian nrmy, now a
shlpworker at the Merchant jard, (s
a remarkable example of what fearful
Injuries a soldier may sustain on tho
Held of battle and et afterward play a
vigorous part in the industrial world.
Although wounded In thrco places In
tho left arm by shrapnel, hit in the
right leg by a bullet nnd again In the
back and foot by tho fragments of a
bursting shell, Mellor In each Instance
returned to tha fighting front. He kept
waging war for four long jears until
ho was finally removed from the Held of
battlo In a temporarily deranged condi
tion. Mellor appears to bo In tho best of
condition now. After nineteen days'
tuition at tho sard industrial training
school ho was able to Join tho W. S
department es a riveter and hold his
own with the best of skilled labor.
Mellor, who Is thirty-seven jears old,
was born In Htoke-on-Trent, England
Ho came to this country in 1904 nnd for
years was emplojcd as a potter nt Can
nonshurg, Pa. Whllo thero England
sent out a call for men and ho lost no
tlmo in joining the colors, enlisting In
tho Nineteenth Battalion of Infantry of
the Canadian aimy at Toronto
After a short period of tralnlnr ho
i. I was sent to Franco In Mux-. 131B. mwl

trenches at Messines, vvhero ho remained
In action until December of the samo
j ear. In Xov ember. Just after the
Battlo of Loos, ho vvns struck by a
shrapnel shot that toro his right arm In
threo places After six weeks In a
Bologno hospital he returned to the
liont just nt Christmas tlmo

-.overtook the soldier. This tlmo It was
ii a gunshot wound In the left leg vvhlch
J? sent him to the Patnples Hospital for
miceu uujs in ucpuer a dou-puunu
exploslvo shell splintered his right foot
and caused a wound in his back. A
dressing-station treatment was nil ho
received becauso of a shortage of fight
ing men, so ho returned again to tho
front
He remained In action at the front
trenches until Xovembor 28, 1917, when
he becanio deranged on tho field This
was duo to steel spllnteis remaining in
his bod, one of which floated about
until It pierced a sensitive gland and
his mind gavo way.
Mellor was taken to a sanitarium in
Bologne, from thero to Moore's Bar
racks, In England, and then to Toronto
for treatment. He was discharged auto
matically from tho army hospital and
army August 21 of this year, cured, but
unfit for future fighting.

"My purpose shall be to discourage in
