Roll
of Honour. A few days ago we stated that Mr & Mrs Mourant of Percy House,
Gorey had received a telegram conveying the sad news that their son, Private T
G Mourant of the Duke of Cornwalls Light Infantry, was lying dangerously ill at
36th Casualty Clearing Station, and we now regret to hear that another telegram
states that the soldier died at the above hospital on 30 June, the same day as
he was admitted, from severe gunshot wounds to the left foot. The late soldier
was in his 22nd year and was well known and held in high regard in the Eastern
district. To the parents who have lost their only son and the other members of
the family we offer our sincere condolences.
