Regaining strength in due time he again sought to enlist, at
first was turned down, but later was passed, and sailed for
England in mid 1916. The though of being home while men were
needed at the front was always tasteful to George Hamon, and
he took upon himself the duty he deemed to be his.
He has been called back to make the supreme sacrifice, and
though he would not return to us in the flesh his memory
will be treasured as one who stood between home and loved
ones and an avaricious and relentless enemy seeking to bring
our nation under the accursed Prussian heel. To his bereaved
parents and brothers and sisters and relatives we extend our
deepest sympathy.
