Appellant: Major Speid Soote, Military Representative
Summary of case: I appeal against the decision of the local tribunal in allowing conditional exemption for three months, on the grounds that his business is not one of national importance, and also, I do not consider serious hardship would ensue, as the business could be carried on by his wife, and help could be obtained, I think temporary exemption till 31 Ju 1916 would be sufficient.
