He left New Zealand with the Main Body over four years ago, as a "Tinner in the N.Z. Artillery, ana was through the Gallipoli campaign, being one of the men with the last gun withdrawn from tho Peninsula, under Major Clive McGilp. From there he went to the Western front, and had escaped unhurt during the whole four years' active service. He had only received his commission, and been back in- Franco about three weeks, when he was killed. Lieutenant Jackson was 27 years of age ; and had married an Australian lady in Loudon. For some time he was on the staff of Frater and Sons, of Auckland, but about a year before the outbreak of war he went sheep-farming at Tokomaru Bay. Captain S. M. McGeo, Defence Headquarters, Christchurch, has received the following letter from Captain ,S. W. Brookes, M.C., dated Hornchurch, Essex, August 9th, 1918: "It was with very much regret that I read Iftas your son, Private S. McGee, has now been declared killed in action. I used to see a good deal of him while I was with the 13th Company, and later he was battalion runner. He was a fine soldier, exceptionally cool under fire, and always most reliable. His pleasant and unassuming manner made him a great favourite with his comrades. As soon as he was reported missing, every effort was made to find him. I know the colonel personally interested himself in his case. There seems little doubt that he lost his life in his endeavour to get a message from Battalion Headquarters to the front line during the attack. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and kindly convey the same to Mrs McGee." Private McG'ee left with the Fourth Reinforcements, and saw service in Egypt, Gallipoli, and France. He was reported missing on December 3rd, 1917, but later a Court of Enquiry decided that he was killed in action. He had been previously shot through the left arm, but recovered and returned to duty.

Mrs Mayfield, 7 Mathers road, Spreydon, received cable advice on Saturday that her son, Private R. H. Mayfield, of the 36th Reinforcements, was wounded in the left thigh, face, and hand, and was admitted to hospital in England on October 27th; also Rifleman Luke J. Mayfield, of the 16th Reinforcements, has been sent to Hornchurch Convalescent Camp. Private J. Mayfield, of the 20th Reinforcements, is still serving in France.

Private W. J. Liggins, reported killed in action on October Ist, was the youngest son of Mr and Mrs J. Liggins, Burwood. He was born in Christchurch. and was educated at the Bui-wood school. On leaving school he took up a position with Messrs J. Ballantyne and Co. and remained there for eight years, resigning to take' a similar position with Messrs Hallenstein Bros.' Stratford branch. From there he was transferred to the Hawera branch, where he enlisted again for the second time, and passed, and went into camp with the 21st Reinforcements. Last December he was taken ill with appendicitis, and was laid up for over nine months. Ho had only been back in France a fortnight when he met his death. _ He was a first-class shot, and won his marksman's Jjadge before leaving New Zealand.

Mrs T. Duffy, of Jackson's terrace, Lyttelton, has received the following letter concerning the death of her only son, from Major J M. Richmond, officer commanding 9th Battery N.Z.F. A.: "I am writing to you to express, on behalf of the whole battery the deep sympathy wl««>h we all feel for you in connexion with .the death from wounds of your 6on, \o 43507, Gunner T. M. Duffy. J have only recently taken command of iho battery, but I knew your pon as well as 1 possibly could in the time, and knew him to "be one of the most valuable men we had. Some consolation I may be able* to offer you, for nover did a man more truly meet his death in action. Ho was engaged in serving his gun m support of an attack, and by doing so right up to the moment of bein<* hit, he in r.he fullest sense gave his life for his country. It would be impossible to exaggerate the value of such an example to all those who come into contact with it. Though the life has gone, the inspiration remains and can never die. And so in offering you our sympathy we feel that we must at the same time say that we too feel the pride that you must feel to a far greater degree in having been connected with one who could die so well." Gunner Duffy was born in Leithfield twortv-four years ago, and received his education at tho Lyttelton Borough School, and later at the Christchurch Technical College. After Reaving school he was employed for several years in the office of Messrs Ileese Bros. After the outbreak of war he joinod the Permanent Artillery, and was stationed for a time at Kipa Island, and: later at Auckland. He left for the front with the specialists' company of the Twenty-second Reinforcements.

During prayers at the Christchurch Boys" Higli School yesterday morning special reference was made by the headmaster, Mr C. E. Bevan-Brown, to the death in action of Gunner Harold Reginald ("Rex"} Simpson, a prominent old boy of the school. The father and sisters of the soldier wore present, together with several old boys who have returned from the front. Mr BevanBrown, in the course of a short addiess. referred in eulogistic terms to tho character of" Gunner Simpson, who, he said, had not only been a good athlete, but a clean, wholesome young fellow of the best typo. His death, at a, time when the war seemed to be in its final stages, wao particularly sad, but there was tho consolatioi} tnat he had given his life to a great cause and had not died in vain. Mr Bevan-Brown remarked that Gunner Simpson was tho fifth member of the High School Old Boys' toam that in 1912 won the senior seven-a-side competition to be killed in the present war, tho other four being E. E. Crawshaw, G. W. Guthrie, E. Baxter, and L. H. Parson. Of the re-

maining two members of the team W. L Paterson had returned wounded ana had rectyved his discharge, and H. M. Taylor was in camp. The whole school then stood at attention whilst the flag was boing hoisted and the "Last Post sounded. The proceedings closed with one verse of the National Anthem. One of the victims when the Leinster was torpedoed on October 10th was Second-Lieutenant H. T. Doyle, son of Mrs M. Doyle, of Mount Eden, Auckland. Deceased had been to Ireland on furlough, *nd was returning to France by the Leinster. Lieu tenant Doyle left New Zealand with the 9th Reinforcements. After passing in safety through several big attacks, including that of Passchendaele Ridge, he was to die while on furlough. Deceased was 28 years of age, and prior to his enlistment. was commercial traveller for Mr dauao Hemus, Auckland. Mi6s Hartstonge, of the Timaru Main School, has received word of the death in action of her brother. Private J. Hartstonge. Of four brothers who answered the call, he is_ the second to make the supreme sacrifice. Mrs Russell, of Invercargill, has been notified that the cable reporting that Captain 11. Russell, of the Royal Air Force, was missing, has now been cancelled. Captain T., Wyville Rutherford, M.C., who died from pneumonia in Mesopotamia, was born in the Wairarapa in 1890, and was educated at Wellington College and Otago University. He studied ,as a mining engineer in the Otago School of Mines, and previous to enlisting had been a member of the staff of the Consolidated Gold Mines at Reefton for some time. _ He was one of the very first to enlist on the outbreak of the war, and left New Zealand with the Main Expeditionary Force as a sergeant in the 13th North j Canterbury and Westland Regiment, and took part in the historic landing on Gallipoli. He saw service at tho Canal, Gallipoli, and France, receiving his Military Cross at the Battle of Messirics., and last January was withdrawn for special service with the British Forces in Mesopotamia, where ha had been actively engaged till his death. One brother was killed in action last year at La Bassee Ville, and another brother is a lieutenant in tho New Zealand Tunnelling Corps.
