  LANCE-CPL. S. E. TSCHIRHART By Record Correspondent MARYHILL, Sept. 19 [1944] - One of five sons of Mrs. T. Tschirhart of Maryhill, and the late Mr. Tschirhart, serving in the armed forces, Lance Cpl. Stanley Edmond Tschirhart, 24, has been reported missing in Italy. Wounded in Sicily in August, 1943, Lance-Cpl. Tschirhart had gone back on duty only in January of this year. Enlisting with the 1st Tank Regiment, in March, 1942, the young soldier went overseas in June of the. same year. Shrapnel wounds he received in the Sicilian campaign placed him in an African hospital for long months, before being sent to Italy. Desire to be with his twin brother, Pte. Stuart Tschirhart, a member of the Royal Canadian Regiment prompted him to transfer from his own regiment on his return to duty to the R.C.R., losing his sergeant's stripes in the move. Hope is being held out by Mrs. Tschirhart, Maryhill, that her son is being held a prisoner and is all right. "I just have a hunch he is a prisoner," she said today in reporting the casualty. Mrs. Tschirhart's three other sons who are all members of the Canadian Army, include Lance-Cpl. Frank Tschirhart who is also in England, Pte. Ray Tschirhart in England and Pte. Peter Tschirhart. 19 Sep 1944 The Record __________ L-CPL, STANLEY TSCHIRHART By Record Correspondent 11 Oct 1944 MARYHILL, Oct. 11-Lance-Cpl.
