GARRETT HIRAM LORNE SCHRAM
LORNE SCHRAM A PRISONER IN GERMANY
[Welland Telegraph 4 July 1916]
Mr. and Mrs. George Schram, in a letter r eceived yesterday morning from their son, Pte. Ray Schram, now in England with 86th Machine Gun battalion, learned that their son, Lorne, had been taken prisoner by the Germans. In view of the fact that they had not heard from the boy since May, they had grown to fear that something had happened. Mrs. Schram, who has long been an invalid, was quite overcome on receipt of the letter Monday morning and her condition is critical. A third son, Leland, only the night before had said good-bye to his parents, preparatory to departure for overseas with the 98th.
Lorne, who is a marksman of the first water, went to the front with the Mounted Rifles and was soon given a post as sniper. Because of his skill with the rifle he made a success of his position, and when he went out of action a month ago he had many German scalps to his belt.
All Welland has good wishes for the young man and for the home where proud and loving hearts await his return.
