It is with regret we chronicle the death
which has taken place in action in France of Private
Caton Jourdan of the Canadians. The deceased soldier
was a son of Reverend Philip Jourdan of Ontario and
a nephew of the late Mr L P Jourdan and Mrs Jourdan
of Grace Cottage, Ann Street. He was in his 26th year
and was amongst the first volunteers to answer the call
of the Motherland at the outbreak of hostilities in
1914. We tender the bereaved family our sincere sympathy.

A Canadian Visitor. We were more than
delighted yesterday to receive a visit from Sergeant
Albert Caton Jourdan of 157th Battalion Canadian Infantry.
Sergeant Jourdan, whose Battalion is in training in
England, is a son of the Reverend Philip A Jourdan of
Toronto, a Minister of the Methodist Church, and a grandson
of the late Mr Jourdan of First Tower. Sergeant Jourdan
hails from Ontario and though he was a student for the
Ministry, he at once joined the dominion forces when
the need of the Empire for fighting men was realised.
We wish Sergeant Jourdan the best of luck and a safe
return home.
