Corporal Gavin Black, who is reported to have received a serious compound fracture of the right arm, is . one of the partners. in Black and Wilson, carriers Tyne street, Invercargill. H e was in Johannesburg for a few years before coming to Now Zealand, and was only sevsn months hero when war broke out He. joined the Southland Mounted Rifles’ and -loft with the main body for Egypt He has had- on© brother killed in action . since the war: began. Ho was a lancecorporal in the London Scottish; and word came > last .week that another brother ' who is in the. “ Dandy Ninth,” the Royal Scots, an Edinburgh Regiment, and who has been mentioned in dispatches has . . been wounded in the knee, and is in* some hospital in France. The corporal’s -father-’ Sergeant 0. Wilson (With whom Jm

street), is one tef the nldfeveterans san 'Tnvcrcargill. yHe 'held the of fset?: geant„,ih the' Seafdrth. Highlanders, :.and: was in the ‘Afghanistan War of 18781880, .also the 'Egyptian War 'in 1882, for', which he , holds medals. . f Mr J. Milbum,‘of Baker street, Caverlib am, has .received private advice that his son, private Jobn T. Milbum, was killed ’-in action-at the; Dardanelles on April 27. On inquiry at , the Defence Departmeirt, Mr Alilburii; was informed that no notifica-tion-of his son’s deaili had been received therey the source of his informa.tion is his son Harry, who is also at the front, ho has no reason to doubt its accuracy. . ' . - Amongst the casualty lists published last week (says the ‘ Lake Waliatip Mail’) appears, the -name of Private William Henry Cable, who was killed in action at the Dardanelles on June 11. Private Gable was the. second eldest son. of Mrs Millicent Cable, of Queenstown. As this is the second son in this family who lias lost his life in the cause of his country, it oomes particularly hard on his parent. Very genuine sympathy is felt for Airs Cable and family in thfe loss of two sons. Deceased was a shepherd by occupation, and also did a good deal of rabbiting. He was much respected by all who knew ■him. ■ - CANTERBURY. Lieutenant Jack Beaumont Le Mottee (Canterbury Battalion, wounded) was born ,in 1883 at Hull.

He left with the main force as sergeant-major. Writing to friends in Greymouth o'h May 27, he reported that he had received a lieutenant’s commission. Lieutenant Le Mottee is the possessor of a deep-sea master’s certificate. He has represented the Royal Navy at Rugby football and hockey, and also represented Nelson, Cambridge, and the West Coast on the Rugby field. He is an excellent_ French and German linguist.
