Mr Robert Brash, Society Place, West Calder, has been informed that his son, Pte Robert Brash, has been killed in action. Pte Brash was in the Army at the outbreak of the war, and had been in the thick of many a hard-fought battle. He leaves a widow and child who reside at Penicuick. Another son is a prisoner of war, and other two sons are serving.
