FATHER AND FIVE SONS IN THE ARMY.
graceful thing has been done by the British War Office in granting the request of an old soldier, who had reenlisted, and desired to serve in the same regiment as the youngest of his five soldier sons. The family live in the East End of London, and the father, after completing twenty-four years military service, has just rejoined the colours. Of his five sons, two hold com missions-, one is a sergeant-major, another a sergeant, and the youngest, whom the father will now join, is training at a South oast barracks.
