Two of Alfred's brothers also served in the Great War, but they survived. Alfred's brother Fred happened to be at home in October, and he had a dream in which he saw one of his brothers lying dead on a battlefield. He couldn't tell which brother, as the man was lying face down and they looked alike from the back.
