Mr Alex Bain, well-known Scottish athlete and former wrestler, of Hastings, recently received a letter, dated June 21, from his son, Staff-sergeant Robert Bain, who is an instructor in the British Army, and the concluding sentence read as follows:—“ Must close now. Just going to see that the lads can put barbed wire up properly.” Two days later Mr Bain received a pleasant surprise when on looking at the illustration page in the HeraldTribune, there was a prominent picture of his son building barbed-wire entanglements at a school of instruction, the picture being .one of a group relating to defence measures in Great Britain.
