“DEAD” MEN ALIVE
MEETING OF FATHER AND SON.
LONDON, November 12. A dramatic! meeting of father and son each thinking the other was dead, took place recently in Dundee. Mr James Meek, whose name and regimental number appear in the Dundee Art Gallery in the roll of honour among those killed in the war, brought his wife from Canada to see the Highlands, and on impulse decided to visit Dundee. * •> < *»•
He believed that his father had died many years before, and his surprise may be imagined, on knocking at the door of his old home, to find his father opening the door. Mr Meek, sen., had never received official intimation of his soil’s death at the front, but he assumed the inclusion of the name on the Dundee roll of honour was sufficient .proof, and his surprise wag as great as that of his son.
