D. A. McKinnon, O. C., 36 th Battery, C.F.A., Bryce displayed great intelligence, especially in the<br />
battles for Bourlon Wood and those leading up to the breaking of the Marquoin Line and the<br />
capture of Cambrai in France. Bryce was in charge of the signalers and despite the heavy shelling,<br />
had telephone communication back to the artillery all through this time and the subsequent periods.<br />

France. Bryce was wounded in the thigh and shoulder on October 22, 1918. Major D. A. McKinnon<br />

a commission, and I will write him to that effect as soon as I hear of the hospital he is in.”<br />
