A petition has been signed by a number of local stagnant philibusters [sic] and anti-service persons kidding the Board that the young fellow is a great grafter that the old man would have to give up farming if the son went into camp and that the case is one of genuine hardship. Suppose the son had shown there was some British pluck in himself and has enlisted what would his wealthy 1000 acre sheep farming father have done. As a matter of fact hasn’t the old man just had a house built to accommodate a married couple in case he employed permanent labour but he prefers to casually utilise the services of his neighbours and their sons. As Johnnie Alexander’s only son was refused exemption as an essential on his father’s Wallaceville sheep and dairy farm (which requires more labour) it is difficult to understand how young Burrell can be essential on a farm that produces neither milk, butter or crops for sale and whose owner hires his neighbours to do the shearing. Looks something like the Dunn Third Military Board essential exemption” & “Old Tom Burrell again hired a limb of the law to get his son off. Got leave for him until the December draft goes in”& “Young Tom Burrell of Wallaceville Valley who twice appealed for exemption when drawn in the ballot got a sufficient reason last week when killing a sheep. The baa-baa struggled and young Tom jabbed the killed knife into his own left arm severing sinews and views and other things. Old Tom improvised a tourniquet and stopped the bleeding. The doctor says the young fellow has permanently lost the use of that arm.
