<DIV>“We took the Bus to Kingston; visited for the last time let us hope in our
lives, the Recruiting Office, & after waiting in the familiar room with the
two wooden benches the towel hanging up & the khaki coat, L. was summoned,
& given his paper which states that he is ‘permanently & totally
disabled.’ We suppose that this might fetch £500 if sold.’</DIV>

<DIV>Refs. to “The White City Case” pop up in “The Times” between Dec 1916 and
May 1917. The White City was another recruiting location in London.
The suggestion (23 Feb) appears to be that a complete exemption could cost
between £100 and £150:</DIV>
