CASUALTIES AMONG THREE DUNDEE BROTHERS.

Mrs Darling, 8 Peddie Street, Dundee, has three sons in the army, and one of them has been wounded, another gassed, and the third she has not had any word from for five weeks.

The eldest son, Driver James Darling, A.S.C., who is 21 years of age, has been at the front since the war began.  Mrs Darling has had no letter from him for five weeks, and the fact that he wrote regularly every week is causing her some anxiety.  Driver Darling has seen three years’ service.
