OATLANDS SOLDIER'S DEATH.

Our Oatlands correspondent writes:"Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Burrill of Oatlands have received word that their son, Private Harold Burrill, has been killed in action in Egypt. He was well known as a splendid hand with horses, and had ridden at trials of hunters at North and South shows. He was also a good footballer. Very genuine sympathy is felt for Mr. and Mrs. Burrill and family in their sad loss."
