TELL OF STRANGE MEETINGS
Doctors and Nurses Relate Remark.
able Happenings Occurring in the
Military hospitals.

The long arm OF coincidence was
never more strikingly illustrated than
by the remarkable cases of hospital
reunions related by the commanding
officer of the Welsh General Military
hospital. Recently a nurse entered
one Of the wards. calling the name OF
a certain soldier who was due to take
his medicine. In response to the call
a man sat up in one of the beds. but
further inquiry showed that although
the surname was the same, the Chris
tian name was different from that of
the man she was seeking. says Lon
don Tit-Bits,
At that moment the right man, VINO
was well enough to hobble about. ar
rived upon the scene. and then, TO the
amazement Of the nurse and the other
occupants of the ward, the patients
recognized each other as brothers who
had not met for many years. What
is more extraordinary still. the two
brothers had been in the same ward
for several days without either being
aware of the others presence.
Even more extraordinary is the case
OF two men in another ward, who,
when the roll was called. suddenly
recognized one another as chums who
some years ago joined the Uolors the
same day. They had been close
chums in the ranks. but subsequently
drifted apart through the drafting of
one of them on foreign service, TO find
themselves reunited in adjoining beds
in the Welsh Military hospital.
On comparing notes further string
of condolences was discovered. The
two men, unaware of each others
presence at the front, had been wound
ed the same day. taken to the same
base hospital. brought home In the
same snip, carried TO the same train
and finally placed next to one another
in the same ward of home hospital.
Another curious case is that OF a
man who after being wounded at the
front was admitted to one of the wards
of the hospital On his discharge he
went back to France, and. wounded a
second time, found his way back once
more to the same ward.
