MACLEOD MAN CARRIED WOUNDED CHUM FROM BATTLEFIELD IN FRANCE

Macleod, May 28.-- Sergeant George G. Revell, the well known Macleod rancher and football player,  has performed an expectional deed of gallantry, for when badly wounded himself he carried a helpless comrade from the trenches to the hospital.  Unfortunately, however, his efforts were fruitless, as his comrade died as they reached the temporary hospital base.

Sergeant Revell, who was offered but refused a commission in the Old Country, was in the 10th Battalion and went through the famous Langemarck battle, during the course of which he was wounded in the muscles of the right leg just below the knee, but continued to take part in the fight.  He was later wounded in the right arm above the elbow, and sought refuge in a hole made by a 'Jack Johnson' and waited for a chance to get back to the lines.  When the chance came, however, he refused to leave his wounded comrade whom he gallantly carried on his back on his left shoulder.

Sergeant Revell is an Irishman but has resided in Macleod for several years and enlisted in this town as soon as the first call for volunteers came.
