FATHER OF TWO SOLDIERS
WHO HAVE FALLEN ENLISTS
"I am going to do my share towards winning the war," said James Seeley
yesterday when presenting himself for enlistment at the Moonee Ponds
Recruiting Depot. "And, if possible," he added, "I m going to have revenge."
Mr Seeley is an able-bodied man, 44 years of age, who for some years has
been employed by the Esssendon Council as a day laborer, and he gave his
address at No. 92 Argyle street, Moonee Ponds.
Two of Mr Seeley's sons have been killed in action— one in Gallipoll, the
other In France recently. The applicant was accepted for service, and the
Essendon Council has decided to keep his billet open for him, and make
good any difference between his wages and the military pay.
