Toronto Star - Dec. 14, 1917 (Sport Section):

Sergt. R. M. "Bob" Deverell, former Whitby O.H.A.1 manager, sends Christmas greetings to his friends from the sergeants' mess of the 208th Canadian Infantry Battalion at present in England, and all in readiness to go to France. It is in the form of a card with a list of all the names of the "Irish Canadians" and is much appreciated by all who have received one. A card from "Ted" Picton, the well-known boxer of the 180th Sportsmens Battalion also extends the season's greetings to his many Toronto friends.
