Are Candidates for Flying Corps

Three Brantford men – J.A. Baker, S.E. Buck, W.H. Fair – who were recently transferred from the 215th Battalion to the Canadian officers training corps, are candidates for commissions in the Royal Flying Corps. It was announced today by Lieutenant Colonel W.R. Lang, of the general staff that the three Brantford men and one other were candidates for the flying corps and would be interviewed upon arrival in England by Captain Lord Alastair Innes-Ker. If not accepted by the flying corps it is expected that Messrs Buck and Fair will go to the infantry. It is probable these officers will proceed to England in the near future.
