The heavy fighting in which the Canadians have recently participated is reflected in the casualty list this morning in which one Kent County man is reported to have died of wounds, while five others, one from Chatham, appear as wounded. The list of county casualties follows: Died of wounds: R. Bateman (Thamesville); Wounded: J Summer (Chatham); F Bone (Kent Bridge); JC Payne (Thamesville); NW Hyatt (Wheatley); Flight Lieutenant J Ross Robertson (Blenheim). The late Pte Bateman was well know in Chatham. He was a former member of the 186th Battalion and trained in Chatham with his unit.

Sergt "Bob" Bateman KilledThe grim realities of the terrible war being waged over in Europe, were once more brought closely home to this community, when on Saturday morning, Mrs Elizabeth Bateman of Orford, received the sad news that her son Robert had died of wounds. The village flag was immediately raised to half mast and many were the expressions of sorrow on every side. "Bob" Bateman was truly one of the flower of our young Canadian manhood. Tall, strong and athletic, he looked and was every inch a soldier, and his passing was a severe shock not only to his mother, brothers and sisters, but also to his many friends in this section."Bob" enlisted on the 5th of January, 1916, when only 20 years old. He had several times expressed a desire to enter the army and serve his king and country, but having the responsibility of a farm on his shoulders, he was for some time undecided. One January night, in 1916, however he attended a recruiting meeting in the opera house here, and signed up with the 91st, the Elgin and Kent regiment, then stationed in St Thomas until the 186th Kent's Own was formed, when he transferred along with some other local boys. He rapidly rose in the ranks, and in a short time was made sergeant. During the time that the 186th was in Chatham, Bob was sent to Thamesville to conduct a recruiting campaign, and with several assistants, worked hard to get recruits for his regiment. His whole soul seemed to be in the cause, and always thought since those days two years ago when he was up and down our streets in his uniform everyday, he has seen hard fighting and strenuous warfare, his spirit never wavered and in his last letter to his mother, received a couple of weeks before the fateful telegram, he said that he was never sorry that he had gone to the front.
