TWINS CAUSE PERPLEXITY.
One of the greatest war problems of the London Scottish Regiment was how to distinguish Ralph Brown (now dead) from his brother Lindsay. They were the twin sons of Mr G. T. Brown, of Manor House, Bowes Park. The twins were inseparable, and so strikingly alike in every way that it: was hardly possible to distinguish one from the other. Early in their military timing their officers were so puzzled that an official order was sent to Ralph commanding him to grow a moustache to distinguish him from Lindsay. After passing through all the grades of non-commissioned rank the brothers had the distinction of being promoted to commissioned rank together in their famous corps.
In all their courses of training equal attainment marked them. Out of a school of 500 officers they were two of four officers specially recommended to the War Office for merit, and they were informed that their reports only differed in the initials of their names.
