Deep sympathy is felt for the bereaved relatives of the late Mr Donald Hugh Cameron, formerly a member of the 1^st D.A.C. A.I.F. who passed away at Hornsey Hospital, Adelaide Street on Saturday. Deceased suffered severely from gas poisoning when in France but had been back in Australia about a year before the effects of the gas returned to him which happened about three weeks ago. Mr Cameron came into Launceston and entered the hospital but the malady increased until it brought on his death. Prior to his enlistment the deceased soldier worked at Magnet where he became very popular. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon commencing from Hornsey hospital, the body being conveyed by members of the staff. The chief mourners were the deceased parents, Mr and Mrs W Cameron, two sisters Misses A and H Cameron and four brothers Messrs. A R and H Cameron. Reverend C H Corvan officiated at the gravesite.
