Major Bates Invalided.
After the severe fighting around Ypres, Major J. H. Bates has been invalided home to Penrith. He passed through Lancaster Station on Tuesday, and his condition caused relatives anxiety. His hearing has been affected by shell fire, and will require a slight operation. The news of the death of his son will come as a great blow after the Major has left his battalion.
