PERSONAL

Yesterday the Rev. G. Rowc of Devonport, had the painful duty of conveying to Mr and Mrs. G. Hey the information that their third son, Pte. B. V. Hey had been killed in action in France. Previously he had been reported wounded and missing, and now it is officially stated that he was killed at the time, October 4 last. Four days after that date his brother, Corporal C.D. Hey, was killed in action in the same fighting. A third son Pte G. H. Hey, was invalided from the war zone, and is now on home service duty. Mr. and Mrs. Hey have a fourth son in the firing line in France.
