ROLL OF HONOR

PRIVATE EDWARD FXTZGIBBON. : Private Edward Fitzgibbon, who was killed in action on April 5, was the third son of Mr. Martin Fitzgibbon, Rangiora. He was born at North Loburn, and was 39 years of age. He was farming in partner-

ship with two brothers before going on military service with the 28th Reinforcements. Over a year before being drawn for service he enlsited, but was turned down by the medical officer. A brother, Corporal Michael Fitzgibbon, is at the front. Private Fitzgibbon, by his simple and unassuming manner, endeared himself to all, and much regret" is felt for his sorrowing parents and family. According to word received from Father O’Flynn (Chaplain), he was killed instantaneously by shell fire, and his grave is marked by a cross, suitably inscribed.—R.l.P. PRIVATE JOSEPH MACKLE.

Private Joseph Mackle, only son of John and the late Mary Mackle, was killed in action on June 1. Educated at the Catholic School, Kaikoura, he was

The deceased soldier, who was 27 years of age, after working with his father for some time in Wellington and Christchurch, then took up surveying on the West Coast before joining the Expeditionary Force. His death was a great shock to all his relatives and friends —R.I.P.
