On February 7th, 1916, at the Military Hospital at Havre, France, died Captain Frederick G. McLaren, of Hamilton, youngest son of the late Col. Henry McLaren.
Fred. McLaren was the youngest of six brothers, all Old Boys of T. C. S.
Of a quiet and unobstrusive nature he had a very high sense of duty, and although far from robust, was one of the first to offer his services at the outbreak of the war, and left with the first contingent as Lieutenant in the 4th Battalion.
His courage and devotion to duty were greater than his bodily strength, and after over a year of active service in France he succumbed to an attack of enteric fever.
He was not the only member of his family to hear the call of duty and respond promptly.
One brother, George H. McLaren, went to the front with the 15th Highland Battalion, was gased at Langemarck, invalided home, and has re-enlisted in the 92nd Battalion as a Major.
Another brother, Richard J. McLaren, is Major in the West Yorkshire Regiment of the British Army, while still another brother, William F. McLaren, is Captain in the 164th Battalion, now being raised.
The School may weel be proud of these Old Boys - gallant sons of a gallant father. |
