BROTHERS WHO HAVE NOT MET

MEETING TO TAKE PLACE AT WELLINGTON (Received August 28, 6.30 p.m.) MELBOURNE, August 27. Mr L. C. Tennent, who left New Zealand in 1900 and served in the Boer War, returned/from Africa on the Norwegian ship Templar today on his way to visit his brother, Dr Alan Tennent, of Wellington, whom he has never seen. He is travelling to New Zealand in the Maunganui. Mr Tennent said that after the Boer War he became a tourist guide in the African hinterland. Later he was engaged in mining and farming; then came the Great War. Mr Tennent is now secretary of a shipping company at Dar-es-Salaam. FAMILY OF FIVE BROTHERS (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, August 27. “As far as I know my brother has never seen me, and I have certainly never seen him to my conscious knowledge,” said Dr Alan Tennent, brother of the Mr L. C. Tennent, referred to

in a Melbourne cablegram. This message stated that Mr L. C. Tennent, who was en route to New Zealand would be meeting his brother for the first time.

Dr Tennent explained that the reason why they have not met is that he believes he (Alan) was not born when Mr L. C. Tennent, who is the eldest member of a family of five sons and three daughters, left for South Africa. Dr Tennent is the youngest of the sons.

Dr Tennent, however, has met his brother’s wife, as she happened to be in England when Dr Tennent was there 11 years ago. Mr L. C. Tennent has not been back to New Zealand since he left Timaru, where the Tennent family was then living, to go to the Boer War. Mr L. C. Tennent was later joined in South Africa by two other brothers, Mr H. D. Tennent, now of Dunedin, and Mr H. C. Tennent, now of Honolulu. The other brother is Mr K. B. Tennent, of Auckland.
