Rehabilitation in PEI

We went to Halifax and then by rail to, eventually to a convalescent hospital. You see I was on a stretcher and speechless and so forth and so on. The 12th Military District in Charlottetown, that was the 12th Military District there. And I was in hospital sleeping outside because of the mustard gas poisoning, you see.The nurses used to come out to taking temperatures and so forth wearing their fur coats and we were sleeping right in it out there, with our head, cover our head you see. And the trouble was your nose would get frozen. We had little, what we called nose caps to slip over your nose because your nose is the first part, you can cover your ears, but you can’t cover your nose.
