Mr Brown said that his younger brother also had been killed in action. The board, after complimentinir Mr Brown warmly on his family's splendid example, declared that the circumstances fully warranted any reasonable concession, and the appeals for both employees were adjourned sine die, on condition that they remained in their, present employment.
