Death

Mrs. R. Thompson has received news of the death of her youngest brother, Sergeant Claude Carr, who deceased was within a few weeks of his 21st birthday. He was reported missing since October 12 of last year. He was the second son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Carr, of Ulan, to make the great sacrifice. Private Wal. Carr fell, and a third, Private J. Carr, has lately returned badly wounded. The hero's death cast quite a gloom as he was a most unassuming lad beloved by all who knew him. To his aged parents and bereaved relatives we extend our sympathy. They may be consoled by the fact that their sons died with honor, their duties nobly done.
