the: father of six officers in the British army given the freedom of his 



native city 



The recipient of this unique honor, bestowed by the city of Peterborough, England, was 

 Dr. Thomas James Walker, on the occasion of his 8oth birthday. He has 13 children, and 

 six of his nine sons hold commissions in the British army. Dr. Walker is seen on the 

 mayor's right. In America, Governor and Mrs. Manning, of South Carolina, offer a strik- 

 ing analogy to this Britisher's contribution to the war; they have also given six sons to the 

 service of their country.
