DEATH IN LIBYA
GISBORNE SOLDIERS Advice was received on Saturday of the death from wounds received in Libya of Private L. Slade, son of Mrs. E. Blake, Wainui road. Private Slade was previously reported wounded. His wife, Mrs. W. Slade, lives in Wellington. A brother of the deceased is Lieutenant George Slade, of whom no word has been received since he was officially reported missing in Crete. Private J. R. C. Angus, who was reported on Friday to have been killed in action in Libya, was a native of Cromarty, Scotland, who came to New Zealand under the Flock House scheme after the last war. He worked in this district for several years, principally for Mr. J. M. Monckton, and was a skilled and popular station worker. A single man, he enlisted early in the war and left New Zealand with the Second Echelon. Advice has been received by Mrs. L. Symes, Hawera, that her son, Private Jack Symes, formerly wellknown as a Poverty Bay representative footballer, is now a prisoner of war in Stalag VIIIB, in Germany.
