The young soldier, who was only 19 years of age, enlisted twelve months ago last November, in the Seaforth Highlanders, and then transferred to the Machine Gun Corps. In a letter received from the officer of the young man’s company, the parents are informed that their son was killed by a shell in the early days of this last great battle, while he was calling for stretcher bearers for a wounded comrade. In the letter the officer says:— “He has been with me ever since the Company was formed, and I always found him a trustworthy and willing soldier. The loss is indeed great, but don’t forget he died fighting for the right.”
