He was severely wounded in the bat-
tle at Passendachle, losing sight of both
eyes. When sufficiently retovered he
entered St- Dunstan’s school for the
ind and took up one of the handi-
lrafts taught there, becoming very pro-
@oricient in basket-work, and the weaving
cord articles, with some of which he
won distinction at the Wembly world
exhibition, and also at the Toronto ex-
hibition last year.

Of a kindly, jovial disposition, ‘Jim’
won the sympathetic liking of all who
knew him. He was musically gifted,

ready sympathy for another’s afflic-
tions, underone of the saddest disabili-
ties that a human could suffer.
