From an unnamed and undated news article:

Brother Walter's Back in Town

GEORGE GOULDING and his big brother Walter had the meeting of a lifetime yesterday. Not with royalty or a famous personality, but with each other-- for the first time.

Walter went to Canada when he was only 13 and has not been back to England since.

"I just can't think what to say," -- said 65-year-old George who runs a grocery store and an egg stall in Coventry.

Thrilled

"I'm so thrilled -- I can't believe it's all happening," says Walter (67).

The brothers met in Fort Meadow bus station. Coventry where Walter and his wife Helen stepped off a coach from Southampton.
