DUNDEE MAN REPORTED MISSING

WAS MARRIED ON DAY HE LEFT TO JOIN REGIMENT.

The lot of Mrs George Low, 32 Gelatly Street, Dundee, is hard to bear. She has received notification that her husband, Sgt. George Clark Low, of the 1st Gordon Highlanders, was posted missing on August 26.

Sergt. Low, who was a reservist, was to have been married at the New Year, but when he received the order to rejoin his regiment on outbreak of the war he hurried on arrangements, and was married on the day he left the city.

A ray of hope has been cast through Mrs Low’s gloom by the receipt of a printed message along with the intimation that her husband is missing.  The message reads :―”The term ‛missing’ does not necessarily mean that the soldier is killed or wounded.  He may be an unwounded prisoner, or temporarily separated from his regiment.  Any further information we receive will be at once sent on.”

Sergt. Low served seven years with his regiment in India and Egypt, and since he came home was employed as a postman at Crieff.
