The Rev. G. Rowe yesterday had the duty of conveying to Mrs. Roughly, of East Devonport, the news that her husband, Pte. Chas W. Roughley died of gunshot wounds in the abdomen, thigh, arm and knee in the 3rd Casualty clearing Station on June 9. Pte Roughley, who enlisted at the start of the war wrote home only a few days ago stating that he was well, and looking forward to his home-coming. There is a family of five children.
