Weavers of Lansdowne Crescent received the sad news yesterday of the death of their third son, Clyde, killed in action at Gallipoli. The deceased was a Lance-corporal in the 3rd Field Company Engineers, and left Hobart with the first contingent. He was a fine, strapping young man, standing 6ft. high and weighing 13st and was only 19 years of age. He was well liked, well conducted and manly and his bereaved parents and sisters will have the sympathy of many friends.
