CROWDS STARTLED
“HELP!” CRY BROADCAST. Visitors to the Empire Exhibition at Glasgow were startled to hear agonised shouts for “Help!” coming from the loud-speakers throughout the grounds. The cries originated in one of the bandstands where Albert Lake, a member of the band of the Queens’ Own Cameron Highlanders, had accidentally grasped a live wire while moving a microphone, into which he had been singing. The audience saw him fall to the ground obviously in great pain. Colleagues rushed to his assistance, and he was taken by ambulance to the Victoria Infirmary, where he later regained consciousness. Bandsman Lake’s recent visits to Scotland have proved unfortunate for him, for, while travelling North to visit his fiancee last December, he was involved in the Castlecary train disaster, receiving serious head injuries.
