A
few days ago we stated that Corporal C T Robert of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment,
son of Mr T Robert of 27 Colomberie, had been admitted to the 39th Stationary
Hospital in France suffering from serious gun shot wounds and we now regret to
state that a communication received from the Chaplain states that the young soldier
has passed away. The Chaplain, in a most sympathetic and impressive letter, states
that in the few days the Corporal had been in the hospital the doctors and nurses
had become much attached to him, and he adds "In your grief you will,
I hope, feel a just pride in such a good and noble life, such examples are not
thrown away and the world is a better place for them". The late Corporal
was 19 having joined up in March last year on reaching his 18th birthday, he was
a jolly young fellow, highly respected and his loss will be felt amongst a large
circle of friends and acquaintances. We tender the bereaved family our heartfelt
sympathy in their sorrow.
