This War Takes Grandfather Excused From
Other War Because He Was Father of Two
Yes. this is quite a war. Want a
concrete example to prove it?
Well, then, this war has drawn
into the army a grandfather with
three grandchildren—a man who
was excused from the other war
because he had two children at
the time.
He is Pvt. Herman Pace, and he
is right here at Camp Adair,
But there is another fact which
partly weakens the ease of Pace.
Possibly this war is not so different
after all. For John William Pace,
his son, is being excused from this
war because he has two children.
The elder Pace married at 18.
That makes it easier to understand
how he happens to be a grand
father at 45. His son is 24 and a
daughter is 25. She is Mrs. Charles
Hamlin, wife of a Canadian offi
cer. The grandchildren are John I
William Paee, Jr., Herman Pace,
and Margaret Ann Hamlin.
