Of Grande ; Mull Finally , Found Pluce In Service. , ) 'We,ll, Howbrook, they - let ybu serve at last," . was the common-' place greeting for Harry Howbrook at the exemption board office on Monday, when he prepared to; de part Tuesday for Vancouver bar. racks to drill, with other limited service men, says the North Yakima Herald. ' Howbrook is far from being forc ed into the, service by the draft. Ho holds a worth-while record. Since the beginning of the war he has been eager to get into the ser vice. Not only has he -.tried '-Id enlist in many branches of the Can adian army, but . he has tried all but one or two branches of the American army. Each time, he has been turned down for being under weight. ; He conies' from a family whieh lias sacrificed much for the cause of the Allies. He has 23 cousins and .several uncles on the firing line in France, serving under the British flag. Several cousiiib have recently made their supreme . sacrr fico and one, undo la now a wound-qd!-prisoner in Germany. ' Mr. How- fbrook has lost many boyhood friends in this war. He has three brothers in the American army;. Mark J. Howbrook, of the Slgnaj Corps, now in Alaska: John Bing ham In the Medical corps at Fort Law.ton, and James Bingham, in the U. S. Reserves and waiting his call, at present chief engineer of the Palmer Lumber ,. Co. of , La Grande. , .'. '. . .. Howbrook was formerly wlro chief of the Western Union in North Yakima and Inter a dis patcher for the N. P. R. R. , He has" learned to love the American flag i oven more than the flag of his native land, England, and is immensely proud that he is finally to .'-have Vhe opportunity to serve unded it.
