PTE E. G. MASTERS (PIONEER)

Our correspondent at Pioneer writes: — Quite a gloom was cast over Pioneer and district when it became known that Private E. George Masters, 12th Battalion, had been killed in action somewhere in France Rev. France broke the sad news to Mrs Masters of the death of her husband. Private Masters enlisted in the latter part of 1916. After a short training at Claremont Camp he proceeded to England then to the Western Front. Previous to enlisting Private Masters was employed for number of years at the Pioneer Mine where by his straight forward and general manner he gained the esteem of his employer and fellow employees. He also filled the position of secretary to the local labour league from the time it was formed until he left. By his courtesy and tact in the performance of his duties, he won the respect of those differing from him in their opinion. He leaves a widow and little daughter to mourn his loss, and to whom the deepest sympathy is offered in their sad bereavement.
