30 LOYOLA. COLLEGE REVIEW LIEUTENANT THOMAS SARGENT OWENS Lieut. Thomas Sargent Owens died of multiple gunshot wounds received in action in France. Lieut. Owens, who was twenty- nine years of age, was the only son of Thomas P. Owens, chief editor of the Hansard staff at Ottawa, and shortly before going over- seas was married to Dorothy, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederic Hague, of Montreal. He left Canada in June, 1917, with the 207th Battalion and was drafted to France last April with the 38th Royal Ottawa Battalion. Born in Montreal, Lieut. Owens received his education at Loyola College, where he gained the degree of B.A., and afterwards B.C.L. from McGill University. He prac- tised his profession for some years in Montreal and was looked upon as one of the most popular members of the Junior Bar. Before leaving for overseas, Lieut. Owens did much good work in the interests of re- cruiting both in Quebec and Ontario. He joined originally in the 5th Royal High- landers in August, 1915, and qualified as captain with that unit. He later trans- ferred to the 73rd Highlanders and did valu- able work in connection with the organizing and recruiting of the battalion. Again, transferring, he joined the 207th at Ottawa, and visited many parts of this province on organizing and recruiting work. He went overseas with the 207th and when they were broken up for reinforcements, reverted to the rank of lieutenant in order to be able to get to the front.
