Deep regret was expressed when word was received at St Marys of the death from wounds in Egypt on April 20^th of Sergeant G Todd eldest son of Mr W. J. Todd of St Marys. Deceased enlisted at the outbreak of war and served through the Gallipoli campaign without once being wounded. He was of a particularly genial disposition and was a general favourite. In the absence of the Rev. Stuart Wall the sad news was conveyed by Mrs Wall to the bereaved parents for whom the keenest sympathy is felt.
