Twins Serving.

L.A.C. Reg Hollings and Miss Joan Hollings, the 19-year-old twin son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Hollings, of “Glencairn,” Racecourse Road, Swinton, are both serving their country.

Reg is in Southern Rhodesia, training to be a fighter pilot. Before volunteering for the R.A.F. he was a clerk at Messrs. Baker and Bessemer.

Joan is serving In the West Riding as a member of the Women’s Land Army, and is enjoying the life tremendously. She was a clerk in the radio department of the Barnsley British Cooperative Society before volunteering.

Both Joan and Reg are old students of Mexborough Secondary School and were formerly members of the tennis section of Swinton Athletic Club.
