RLe also represented on the cricket field. The deceased soldier wae a vigorous type of batsman; his principle was to go for the bowling ae soon ae he got hie eye in. His was a very chivalrous, manly nature, both on and off the cricket field, and he was always willing to help a young cricketer. He.was also a keen supporter of the Alhambra Football Club, though he himself did not take an active part in the game. Rifleman Bryden, who was employed by Messrs Nees and Co. when he enlisted, left with one of the latex reinforceiments; and l in one of the letters written by him from Sling Camp, he etatedi that he was beginning to give tip hop©,of ever getting to the front.

Capiain Gavin was educated at the Terrace School, Wellington, and at the Wanganui Collegiate School. Subsequently he was for one year a student of Otago University, completing hie medical course at Edinburgh.

A correspondent writes to us:—"The newe of tho death of the Rev. Edmund William HalXord (corporal, Twenty-fourth Reinforcement) will be received with feelings of deep regret by a, wide circle of friende in Dunedin and in various parts of the dominion. The late Corporal HaJford was employed for some ycara in Messrs A. and, T. Indira's; subsequently at TimarUj and previous to his entering upon his University career he was employed in Meeers A. E. Stewart and Cp.'s Manchester Hoiiee, Milton. While in Milton ho as-eociatod himself with the Milton Presbyterian Church and local Y.M.C.A. Impressed with the need for Christian workers and the dearth of men for , the ministry, be was led to consider tho claims of the ministry. It required , no small amount of grit and determination to enter upon the exacting curriculum of the Presbyterian Church. Without any educational advantages beyond the ordinary Sixth Standard pass, he .pplied hirosolf to the University course with commendable zeal. Hie University career showed him to be the possessor of gifts above the average, and he finished hie Arts course with great, credit. His theological etudies in Knooc College were entered into with the same rest and ea-Rcr desire for knowledge. He completed his theological cwee by winning the Bbenezer book prize, which ie coveted by .every ambitious theological s'udfnt. As a preacher Mr Kalford. had. gifts of a highoTder. Hβ ministered with gVeat ncoeptance in St. Paul's Church, Oamaru, during the illness of the late Rev. R. J. Porter. During the Bev. D. Dutton'a absence on nr'litary uorvwe, Mr Halfoid occupied the pnipii of tho

Caversham Church, and there, too, his ■work was highly appreciated. Tho outbreak of the war agitated his mind no it did those of scores of others, and from a .high eem» of duty ho was led to offer his services as a combatant, Bailing with the Twenty-fourth Reinforcements. Hie zmieical ability was conaiderably above the average, and; many an audience listened with delight to hie fine rendering of eolos. On the transport, in . Sling Camp, and out in Franco he Bought to uae the gifts God had given him, and, in addition to hie military duties, he found time to relievo the chaplain and Y.M.C.Asecretaries by conducting ee.rvicee with the men. His death will be keenly felt by a wide circle of friends, who fondly hoped that ho would return to Now Zealand and devote his life to th© extension of God's Kingdom among men. The Presbyterian Church in New Zealand loses ono who pavo promise of much future usefulness, but hie death ie one of high honour, and hie call to the High Service an abiding reward. His sister, Mre j. "W. Colline, residee in Kaikonrn, and sho has the heartfelt sympathy of a very wide circle of friends." jiii A. M'iller received word yesterday th«t his nephew, Private "W. J. Kroon, reported "killed while in action on October 17," and subsequently "not killed; dangerously ill and in hospital," haa been removed from tho dangerously to the serionsjy ill list, eufioring from gunshot wound in the abdomen.
