“Soldiers’ Tag Day. Tag Day for the returned soldiers was successful in every way. The ladies of the Daughter of the Empire undertook in this way to raise funds to furnish the club rooms of the Great War Veterans’ Association and a very liberal response was given by the citizens. From early this morning a number of young ladies have been busy disposing of the tags with their patriotic emblem of a Canadian soldier backed by the Union Jack and a substantial sum will be realized.”
