NEW ZEALAND'S ROLL OF HONOUR.

Lieut. Leonard Millard, killed in ac-t-ion, was the second youngest son of Captain A. J. Millard, who is himself on his way to the fighting front, having left only l-ecently in charge of the 14th Mounteds. His mother remains behind at the family home at Fort - Rose, Southland, there to share her sorrow with the late Lieut. Millard's young wife. Lieut. Millard was a single young man farming in Southland, when in August, 1914, the call for men came. He promptly enlisted with the Otago Mounteds, and left for the front in the Main Body. He fought right through the Gallipcli campaign without a . scratch, and for a time before going into — the trenches was attached .to .General Sir-lan Hamilton's body-guard. He returned to his home in Southland last November, and it was then that he became married. He went back to the firing-line in Februaiy last. His youngest brother, Gordon Millard, also fought through the Ga'llipoli campaign, and is now a sub-lieutenant in the Navy. Another brother, Mr. J. N. Millard, is a married man and a master at Wellington College. » • * * A Press Association message from New Plymouth on Friday last brought sorrow to many a home. It was the news that Miss F. M. Browne, of Waiuku, who for many years was resident , in this city, had been lost overboard. from,, the s.s. Rarawa on. the

Thursday's trip from Oneliunga. The deceased lady was the sister of Mrs. J. A. McGrath, of Napier, and was held in very high esteem and affection in the many parts of the Dominion where she had lived. She was of a particularly bright disposition. Even her casual acquaintances on that last sad voyage could not help making mention of this —that she had made it her great aim to brighten the lives of those who came, or whom she could bring, under her influence. Many of her kindly acts hitherto untold are now being recounted, and one cannot help feeling that the world is the poorer for so sudden and sad a loss. Widespread, sympathy is felt for the numerous relatives in their bereavement.
