EX-SOLDIER'S DEATH.
MILITARY CROSS WINNER. [FJtOM OTJB OWN CORRESPONDENT.] SUVA. Not. 3-
The colony mourns the death of Mr. Roy Pamell, M.C., a very gallant soldier who came to Fiji after he had been retired from the Army owing to wounds. He was a strong man, and seemingly had quite recovered from the effects of gassing and being wounded with shrapnel, a piece of which, it seems, had remained in his head. When on a visit recently to Savu Savu he struck his head on the water pipe in the bathroom over the spot where the shrapnel was still lodged. Acute inflammation set in, and refusing to' see'a doctor,'he died from the wound. He'was greatly loved by all who knew him.
