MISSING IN GREAT WAR
IDENTIFIOATION OF BODY. By Toljsrxph—Press Assn. —Copyright. London, Jan. 14. After a silence of nearly 14 years Mr. Charles Hankin, residing at Heath, Bedfordshire, has been officially informed of the finding and identification of the body of his eldest son, Frederick, who was reported missing after his first engagement with the Australian contingent on August 5, 1916.’ Identification was possible owing to a gold finger ring engraved “Lilian —Fred” from his fiancee, a Brisbane girl, whose photographs and letters were also recovered. Mr. Hankin’s other son joined the English Army, and was posted as missing after the German offensive of March, 1018.
