DUNDEE FUSILIER TWICE WOUNDED.
Official intimation has been received by Mrs Lawrence, 1 Middle Street, Dundee, that her son, Private A. Lawson, Royal Scots Fusiliers, has been wounded.
Private Lawson who is 21 years of age, went to the front with the Black Watch, and was wounded. His wounds were considered so serious that he received his discharge from the army. He made a marvellous recovery however, and re-enlisted in the Fusiliers, returning to the front six weeks ago. Private Lawson’s stepfather is also serving.
