WIDOW DIES OF GRIEF
TRAGEDY OF HOLIDAY CAMP Eleven days after her husband, a non-commissioned officer in the Territorials, lost his life to save his comrades a grief-stricken wife collapsed and died. . Company-Sergeant-Majov G. Outlaw met his death while training with the 4th Suffolk llegiment at Roedean Camp, Sussex. He was in charge of a number of Territorials in training. When he saw a low-flying aeroplane approaching, he ordered his men to lie flat on their faces. His order saved them —but he himself was struck by a wing of the aeroplane and killed. At the funeral of Company-Sergeant-Major Outlaw the widow bore herself bravely, and afterwards she and an eight-year-old daughter comforted themselves as best they could. But the burden was too great for Mrs. Outlaw, and now a little orphan girl mourns a father and mother. Mrs. Outlaw, who was 3/, lived at Lowestoft. " She died of a broken heart," a neighbour said. " She and her husband were a devoted couple, and Mrs. Outlaw was terribly upset by the accident, which occurred on the eye of the camp breaking up."
