\nPte. Charles Lawrence Amas, 442220, is in hospital at Rouen, France, suffering form a gunshot wound in the chest, according to the official announcement received yesterday by his father, Harry Amas of Nelson. Pte. Amas was wounded in action and admitted to hospital Oct. 14. No further word has been received regarding the extent or seriousness of his injury. The wounded soldier enlisted in Nelson during the summer of last year and was attached to a western infantry battalion.<\/p>\n
The Daily News, November 7, 1917:
\nLetter from Lieut. D.A. McQuarrie: \u201cLawrence Amas is back in A company and is looking better than he ever did.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Daily News, September 20, 1918:
\nIn a letter from Pte. Laurence Amas received by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Amas, he states that he has fully recovered from his recent operation and is back with his old battalion. Only three of the original members of his company are left with the battalion in France. Pte. Amas spoke highly of the treatment he received in the hospital in France. The nursing sisters and nurses did their utmost for him. He was the first Nelson boy to reach the particular hospital where he underwent the operation. The nurses were delighted to see him, especially Miss Fletcher and Miss Noble, both of Nelson. He said they were in good health. Pte. Amas said he expected to get Blighty leave soon and would visit in Scotland with some friends he had met.<\/p>\n
The Daily News, October 18, 1918:
\nMr. and Mrs. H. Amas have received a letter from their son, Corp. C.L. Amas, in which he says he saw Albert Sullivan, who was principal of the Nelson central school for a number of years. He also saw Tommy Madden and several other Nelson boys, all of whom were well. All wished to be remembered to their Nelson friends. Corp. Amas said that the YMCA had just received a shipment of Canadian goods and the boys were especially eager for the canned peaches, biscuits and cream. Incidentally he mentioned that the canned heat came in handy in the trenches for making hot drinks. Corp. Amas was an original 54th battalion man and has been in France over two years. He recently had leave in England and Scotland.<\/p>\n
The Daily News, November 21, 1918:
\nCorp. Charles Lawrence Amas, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Amas, was killed in action on Sept. 30, according to an official report received by his parents yesterday. He was a member of the 54th battalion and it is believed he was killed at the same time as Capt. Donald McQuarrie and Capt. W.G. Foster, although it was not reported until yesterday, and it is thought the delay was caused by the military records office waiting for details as to whether he was killed, wounded or missing. Corp. Amas enlisted in May, 1915, and was wounded in November of 1916. He was born at Vernon, 23 years ago. Besides his father and mother, he is survived by a sister, Beatrice and two brothers, George and Percy. George Amas is agent for the British Columbia Telephone Co. at Rossland and Trail.<\/p>\n

27th Battalion War Diary:
\nReport on the operation by 27th (City of Winnipeg) Battalion on the morning of September 15, 1916\u2014At 6:20 a.m. the artillery barrage opened, 50 yards in advance of German trench and the first wave commenced crawling over. As the barrage lifted the Bttn. advanced onto the first German line and were met with heavy rifle and machine gun fire. As soon as our men reached the trench, the Germans threw up their hands and surrendered. At least 70 dead Germans were counted in this trench. The Battn. followed up the barrage closely and met very little opposition at Sunken Road, Germans surrendering in large numbers. By this time the first wave was nearly wiped out and the second wave took its place. A Company then swung to the left and captured its last objective with one Corpl. and 15 O.R. C and D Companies reached their objectives and immediately commenced to dig in\u2026.Enemy attempted to advance up Sunken Road but were driven off by our Lewis Gun fire\u2026.The
\nenemy artillery fire was very intense for 48 hours on our front line\u2026.Runners were employed continuously and although 75 per cent became casualties, a good number of messages were got through. Visual signalling was attempted with flags and flappers but this drew the enemy\u2019s fire and could not be carried on. During the first 24 hours, owing to the intense barrage it was only possible to get through limited supplies. Coys and Sections were instructed to collect water, ammunition, bombs and rations from the dead. Our stretcher bearers worked unceasingly carrying out the wounded\u2026.Our Bttn. evacuated the trenches at 2 a.m., 17th September, 1916 and proceeded to Brigade Reserve. Our casualties amounted to: Killed 5 officer, 67 O.R.; wounded 7 officers, 243 O.R.; missing 1 officer, 71 O.R.; Total all ranks 394.<\/p>\n
