Dr. C.J. and Mrs. Devine were in Toronto visiting Mrs. Devine's brother, Lieutenant Murray McKinlay who was recently invalided home, having been wondered at the battle of Langemarck.
July 8, 1915 -
Lieutenant McKinlay, brother of Mrs. (Dr.) Devine, is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Devine, in town for some time, Lieutenant McKinlay is endeavouring to recover from wounds received at Langemarck, and was invalided to his home in Halton County. The Lietenant's experience on the field of Langemarck was a thrilling one but typical of the great struggle now in progress in which the best qualities of mankind as well as the worst have been freely displayed. Lieutenant McKinlay lay on the battlefield for some hours when two comrades came to his aid, in the effort to remove him, one was killed and the other disabled, but ultimately the latter escaped.
April 1916 -
Dr. C.J. Devine is in Toronto for some days last week, also in Orillia Saturday, where he witnessed the departure of the 177th Battalion for the front. His brother-in-law Captain Murray McKinlay, who was wounded at St. Julien a year ago, also left with the battalion.
