RECRUITING PROGRESS AT ABERDEEN.

[…] Among those who enlisted were two local men for the Sportsmen’s Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers. This reduction of the height standard should have a beneficial effect on the recruiting generally, and this is to be seen in the numbers which are likely to come forward. Wednesday’s “roll of honour” was as follows: –

[…] Robert A. Gibb – Aberdeen (Sportsman Battalion).

James Walker – Aberdeen (Sportsman Battalion).
