  • [start clipping] MARINE EDITOR BACK ON COAST March 1919 [written in ink] Sergt. Archie Wills, Well Known by Shipping Men, Took Part in Triumphal March to Mons. Sergt. Archie Wills, formerly marine editor of the Victoria Times, and well known to shipping men on the coast, arrived in Vancouver from overseas last night and left on this morning's boat for the capital. Sergt. Mills [sic.] left in 1916 with Col. Ogilvie's artillery battery and went through such historic encounters as Passchendaele and the last battle of Cambrai, coming out with only two or three slight wounds. He figured in the triumphal victory march of the Canadians at Mons after the stern battle on the eve of the signing of the armistice. Out of six members of the Times reporting staff who left for France, Sergt. Mills [sic.] and another are the only survivors. [end clipping]
