THIRLSTANE.

The people of Thirlstane were deeply moved to learn that Gunner Gordon Iles had been killed at the front. He was a general favorite with everyone who knew him and was the possessor of a bright happy disposition.  Gunner Iles left Tasmania over two and a half years ago and had over two years solid fighting. He had had a few 'close shaves,' sometimes getting a slight scratch, but not enough for a spell. Only a few weeks ago Mr. lies received a letter from his son telling of a lucky escape he had had. He was standing near his dugout when a pal called him away. He had just got clear when a shell burst right where he had been standing. The very deepest sympathy is extended to Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Iles and family in their sad loss.
