SOME PERSONAL NOTES. Mr. J. W. Russell, of Opunake (says a Taranaki paper), received most distressing news on Saturday Ln a letter from a sister in the Old Country lie learns that m the recent great offensive he lost three brothers, three nephews and three cousins. Another brother was wounded in the Jutland battle and is still in hospital. Information has been received in Wellington tiiat Sergeant Elijah J. Carey, who was reported as wounded a few days ago, has died of r ounds. In civil life Sergeant Carey was a well-known figure in Labour circles, and prior to enlisting he was secretary to the Hotel Cooks, Waiterand Restaurant Employees’ Union. He was a fair-minded arbitrator in all Labour matters with wbicli lie was connected, and through ms instrumentality many of the privileges that the members of the union enjoy to-day were brought about. Sergeant Carey was intensely loyal, and when the call of “Empire” came he felt it his duty to assist in the upholding of its traditions. Before leaving New Zealand he was entertained by the Labour organisations in Wellington, when represenlives from other parts of the Dominion were present, and the optimistic and manly speech he made on that occasion endeared him to everyone who had the privilege of listening to him. Sergeant Carey has made the supreme sacrifice and his memory will not be allowed to fade bv those who knew him best nor the honest endeavours lie made to make the lives of his fellow-workers more hearable. Mrs. Carey will have the svmnatny of a wide circle of friends m the loss she has sustained. —“New Zealand. Times.” Private Hugh Brogan, reported niissm? m Saturday s “Tribune,” left Hastings with the 13th Rem-lo-iemmits, at d had bien for some vears m the employ of Mr. Alf lieid, <- i tioncei I r e was a fine specimen ot young n "iihood kned by all for his* cheery disnosition and sterling infpo’rify. Mr. J. S. Munro, of Palmerston North, has received news that his eldest son, Corporal John D. Munro has been reported missing. Corporal Munro left New Zealand with the infantry of the 13th Reinforcements and was picked at Salisbury Plain to go in advance of iiis reinforcement with 160 bomb-throwers. At the time he enlisted he was stundying for tiie ministry at Knox College, Dunedin. He was one of the j football team which made a name for Palmerston High School three or four seasons ago.
