Alfred Saies was killed in action on September 16th, 191tj. Albert aiid Frederick Saies have returned with . honourable wounds, and been discharged. Joseph, Arthur, Edward, and James Saies are still fighting in France. Charles Saies is tHe man who was debarred from following th© ■patriotic example of his brothers through a physical defect.
