W.S. DUNCAN RETURNS Won the M.C. at Vimy Ridge, Where He Was Wounded. 1 photograph On Sunday, Lieutenant Wallace S. Duncan (illegible) son of the Rev. (Capt.) Duncan of POrt credit returned to his home town as the result of wounds received during the heavy fighting on the western front. Prior to his enlistment Lieut. Duncan had studied medicine at the Toronto Medical School. He enlisted in the 126th (Peel) Battalion, and when the battalion was disbanded, after reaching England, he asked to be transferred to the 10th Battalion, which was in France. By a strange coincidence he was placed in charge of the same platoon that had been commanded by his eldest brother, Capt. Gordon Duncan, prior to his death. He was in the fight at Vimy Ridge, where he won the Military Cross. Although badly wounded in the foot from machine gun bullets, he continued to lead his men to the attack with much gallantry. On his return journey he travelled on the hosptial ship "Letitia," which recently ran aground in the fog near Halifax. Lieutenant Duncan, who is twenty-one years of age, still shows signs of his wound, which has not yet healed. Aviator Cadet Frank Gordon arrived at his home yesterday afternoon on a brief visit from Camp Borden. This promising young aviator was anticipating an early trip overseas, as his examination for his commission as flight-lieutenant was all but completed, but temporary indisposition, brought on by his exposure in the higher altitudes, necessitated his taking a few days' rest.
