YOUNG WINNIPEGGER GIVES
LIFE AT THE DARDANELLES
Word was received in the city yesterday
by J. C. MacNab, of MacNab
and Roberts, Lombard street, that his
son James had been killed while
fighting in the Dardanelles. Notification
of the death of this well-known
young Winnipeg man came officially
from the war office.
James MacNab was born in Winnipeg
24 years ago and actively figured
in the social life of the city.
He was one of the most enthusiastic
members of the Winnipeg Rowing
club, and was a member of the Junior
four which some years ago won many
honors at regattas in the east.
Shortly after the outbreak of the
war he enlisted in the machine gun
crew organized by Gene Houghton, of
the Grain Exchange, but on arrival
in England he transferred to the 8th
Northumberland Fusillers in which
he was given a commission as second
lieutenant. Later he went with his
regiment to the Dardanelles and saw
considerable fighting.

"Blow out, you bugles , over the rich dead!
There's none of these so lonely and poor of
old,
But, dying, has made us rarer gifts than gold.
These laid the world away ; poured out the red
Sweet wine of youth ; gave up the years to be
Of work and joy, and that unhoped serene,
That men call age ; and those who would have
been,
Their sons they gave, their immortality."
RUPERT BROOKE.
Handwritten below the newspaper clippings:
"He died amid the thunders of great war;
His glory cries
Even now across the lands: perhaps his star
Shall shine for ever -
But for you, never
His wild, white body and his thirsting eyes."

Unknown Soldier"
