Rifleman Lincoln Borman
Rifleman Lincoln Borman, 19-year-old son of Mrs. Nora Borman, 45 Fischer St., is recovering from a machine-gun bullet wound in his right arm in England. In his most recent letter home, he stated the cast had been removed. He had written several letters with his left hand.
Rifleman Borman was fighting with the Queen's Own Rifles in Holland when the bullet entered his right arm between the wrist and elbow.
Enlisting on Feb. 1, 1944 with the Royal Canadian Regiment, he left Camp Borden on July 18 and reached France Aug. 17. On reaching France he transferred to the Queen's Own.
Born and educated in Waterloo, he worked at the aircraft plant at Collingwood and in a cider mill prior to enlisting.
