John Dolan S/29623 Cameron Highlanders
Two Brothers Missing.
Private John Dolan, Cameron Highlanders, whose wife resides at 160 Hilltown, is 26 years of age. And enlisted in March 1917. He has been in France since July last year. Previous to enlistment he was employed in Caldrum Works (Henry Walker & Sons). A strange coincidence is the fact that his brother, Private James Dolan, Black Watch, is also reported missing.
