Font sons of Mrs. J. Forsyth, of Kensington, Whangarei, are _ serving the Empire, and a fifth is waiting to be called up. Recent casualty lists have shown that one of their number, Private Ivan Forsyth, has been missing since September 15, while another, Private Clarence V. Forsyth, was wounded on that day. Ivan Forsyth is 21 years of age, and Clarenco 19. A third son, Private Win. J. Forsyth, is at present in the trenches, and another, Albert Forsyth, is in camp with the twentieth reinforcements.
