TRIBUTE TO PICTON BOY IN ACTION IN HOLLAND

Sgt. J. A, Pope of Picton, is with the Ontario infantry fighting at Breskens corner, Holland. Fred Griffin says in a dispatch:

“A great, gay fighting unit are these men from Ontario, a ‘hot’ unit. No infantry outfit in the Canadian army has won a higher rating on the long, hard road of blood from Normandy to this drowned-out patch of Zealand along whose Scheldt coast they fought from Hoofdeplaat to Fort Frederick-Henrik beyond Breskens.

“Sgt. J. A. Pope, who does the trigger work on a flame-thrower, is also credited with a grand job for five days hand running. Often out in front of the infantry, he went zigzagging along dike tops to shoot short, sharp, scorching bursts at every German he saw.”
