A DRAMATIC STORY.
SELF-SACRIFICING SOLDIER’S END LONDON, November 19. On the eve of the funeral, with military honours, of a man named Lovell, ex-service mam, killed in saving a three-year-old child from being run over at the Armistice celebrations at Limehouse, another ex-serviifi man sought permission to see the body. Following a 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 followed the cortege in the crowded streets.—(Australian Press Association.)
