ROLL OF HONOUR

- ■ - CAREERS OF THE FAEUEN. .IAJOR X. A. DUTHIE. An unfortunate error was made in yesterday's casualty list, the name of Major N. A. Duthie appearing under both headings "Died of "Wounds" and "Wounded." The telegram was published as we received it. On making inquiry from the Press Association to-day we were informed that Major Duthie was reported "wounded," not "died of wounds." SECOND-LIEUT. V. P. HOPKINS. Second-Lieut. Vivian Phelps Hopkins, killed in action, was the sixth son of Mr. A. P. Hopkins, of Belfast, Christchurch, and was attached to the 2nd Battalion, Rifle Brigade, and saw service at Senessi, as well as all the battles in France, until the recent offensive. He recently gained his commission in the field. He was educated at Christ's College, Christchurch, j; and was one of five sons to see active , service. One was killed in the early part of the Gallipoli campaign. Two other , brothers hold commissions in the R.N.R. ( and N.Z. Machine-gun Corps respectively, whilst a younger one has recently reJ turned. Lieut. Hopkins was 25 years of ■ age. I LANCE-SERGT. H. E. REYNOLDS. Cable advice has been received by Mrs. . Reynolds, 24, Kenyon Avenue, Mount - Eden, that her youngest son, Lance- , Sergeant H. E. Reynolds, was admitted . into hospital in England on 29th March as a result of gunshot wounds in the left thigh and rigbt arm. In 1916 Mr. Reyj nolds was nominated as one of Auckland's candidates for the Rhodes Scholar- \ ship, and on going into camp was the ' holder of an Auckland University Scholarship. His elder brother, J. B. Reynolds, LL.B., is 6t_l on active service in France avith the New Zealand Artillery. SERGEANT A. NEAL. Mrs M. A. Neal, of Birkenhead, has received information from the Minister of Defence that her second son, Sergeant A. Neal, is dangerously ill, suffering from gunshot wound in the head. Sergt. Neal, who in civilian life was a carpenter by trade, left with the Ninth Reinforce- : ments. Mrs Neal's eldest son (Sergeant Ernest Neal) was recently reported wounded, but since last October has been i reported to be missing. ! SERGEANT E. FRISTROM. Mr E. Fristrom, the well-known painter, writing from Oakland, CaliI fornia, to a friend in Auckland, states i that he has been notified that his eldest i sou, Sergeant Edward ("Eddy") Frist trom,' was killed in action in May of last year while serving with the Seventh Australian Infantry Brigade. Sergeant Fristrom was reported many months ago as wounded and missing, and the corrected report is evidently the result of a court of inquiry. He lived in Auckland for a uumber of years, while his father \ was engaged as instructor in the Elam . School of Art. ; BOMBARDIER C. T. PEACOCKE. [ Bombardier Cyril Thomas Peacocke, - died of wounds, was the third son of ■ the late Mr. Fitzroy Peacocke, of Ean- ; furly Road, Epsom.
