Gunner A. W. Parry who was killed in action belonged to Deloraine and the news of his death has been received in that district with general regret. Gunner Parry was educated at the Launceston Church Granmmar School and was for some time a member of the Launceston Artillery holding the rank of bombardier. He enlisted with the artillery reinforcements, and was attached to the Third Brigade Ammunition Column.
