Stanley Quinn, the eldest son of the Flemington trainer,

C. Quinn, was one of the first to leave Melbourne on

active service, and he has been always in the fighting

line ever since in Gallipoli and France. His other brother,

Fred, had for a considerable time been desirous of

following him, and he duly enlisted last week.

Good luck to them.
