Laurence was in training to be an engineer, and was on the staff of the Parkgate Iron and Steel works. He is now a. second-lieutenant in the Royal Air Force, and stationed at New Romney. Rent.

Percy has seen active service as a sapper in the Royal Engineers. He was buried and shellshocked in France in 1916, and since then has qualified for a commission in the Royal Engineers.

The father of those boys, an old Mexboroughite, represents the Reserve Forces, for he served for some time as a sergeant in the local Volunteers.
