DUNDEE BROTHERS KILLED IN ACTION.

Mr John Stewart, 26 Union Place, Dundee, has received information that two of his sons, Sergeant Alexander Stewart, Royal Field Artillery, and Corporal George Stewart, Royal Flying Corps, have been killed in action.

Corporal George Stewart, R.F.C., was reported missing on April 11, 1917, and his parents have now received intimation that he was killed on that date.  Corporal Stewart, who was 24 years of age, came from New York, where he was employed as a chauffeur, to join the colours.  He had been at the front for eighteen months.  Mr Stewart has a third son serving in the navy.
