Glinnie left Montpelier as sergeant
and returned to the country with the
same rank, as did his brother, Robert,

company he was unable to return to
service and the captain of the company
wrote to the hospital receiving a reply

this country. James had not seen Rob-
ert for long time before he came back
with the 10Th division.
