Alfred Maitland Smith served his apprenticeship as a clerk and also went
to America, where he made headway and prospered. When America joined in
the Great War, he served in the American Army and rose to be an officer.
He never crossed the seas, but remained at the training camp, holding the
position of an officer till the end of the war. On return to civil life
he obtained an important position in a shipping company in America. A
dutiful son, he has always remembered and assisted his mother in his
prosperity. He lately paid a visit to the old land and to his home and
kin in Aberdeen. From there he went to London, crossed to France, and
visited Italy before returning to his professional duties in
America.
