Three Brothers Had a Reunion

Seven years ago, when Mr. and Mrs. John Angus, now resident at 139 Nelson Street, left Scotland for Canada, one of four sons was left there. Recently through the devastating war which has called all four of the boys to don the khaki, three of the brothers had a reunion in Scotland. Andrew Angus, of the Queen Victoria Rifles (London Rifles), was dangerously wounded some time ago, and while convalescing in Scotland his two brothers, Corporal R.T., and Private G.S., who are both in the machine gun section of the 125th Battalion, were given special permission and met their brother. Andrew, who has never been in Canada, has now recovered sufficiently to return to the trenches. The fourth brother, Malcolm R., is a bugler with the 215th Battalion.
