BRAYE MAN’S DEATH
LIFE OF CHILD SAVED. INCIDENT BEFORE BURIAL. London, November 19. On the eve of the funeral with military honours of Lovell, an ex-serviceman who was killed in saving a three-year-old child from being run over during the Armistice celebrations in Lime House, another exserviceman sought permission to see the body. Following his scrutiny he said: “I thought so. We were together in France and he saved my life. I was wounded during a gas attack and Lovell took off his respirator and gave it to me saying, ‘You take it mate, I can run.’ I had not seen him since.” The Mayor of Poplar is raising a fund for Lovell’s widow and seven children. Ten thousand people followed the cortege through the crowded streets.—Australian Press Association.
