Roll of Honour
We regret to record the death which took
place in action on 23 June of Private Joseph Hernot
of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. This loyal soldier,
who was 24, was the only son of Mr & Mrs Hernot
of St Lawrence and left for the land of the Maple some
4 years ago. He joined up at the call of the Motherland
and has now been called upon to make the supreme sacrifice.
We tender the bereaved parents our sincere sympathy.
