On Monday last official notice received stating that he was killed in action between the 20h and 28th last. It was known that he had been in engagements at the time and as no letter had been received from him for six weeks, his family was not unprepared for the sad news. He leaves a widow and five boys. He joined the Volunteer Corps when it was formed, and never missed a drill if he could possibly attend. When he was called up in August last it was his desire to be passed for general service, and he went into training with the 8th Lincolns at Grimsby. He had been in France since January last. For eight years he represented the Pearl Assurance Company as agent in this district.. He was much respected and connected with the Baptist church, where a memorial will be held on Sunday evening.
