PERSONAL NOTES – The Mercury

Mrs. A.C. Seabrook, of Lochmer Street, Hobart, has received the following letter from Lieutenant L. M. Newton, written from France on November 22:

"I regret to have to inform you of the death of your son, No. 6589, Private R. J. Page. He was a member of an engineer's carrying party at the time, and was killed by a shell on November 1, 1917, just near Zonnebeke, about five miles north-east of Ypres. You will be relieved to know, I feel, sure, that death was instantaneous. We were able to erect a small cross for identification purposes. Please accept the sincere sympathy of all officers and men of the 12th Battalion in your great loss."
