TO LIVE IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE WE LOVE IS NOT TO DIE
On 20th October Private H. A. Louttit of Koraleigh, was tendered a farewell social prior to his departure for the front, and was presented by his many friends with a wristiet watch. Private Louttit carries with him the good wishes of his friends for a speedy and safe return. Private Louttit is the third son of Mr. J. C. Louttit that has gone to the front.
One of the saddest casualties is that of Private H. A. Louttit, son of Mr and Mrs J. C. Louttit, of Koraleigh, who died of gunshot wounds on 7th October, he being the third son who has been killed in the present war. The deepest sympathy is universally expressed for the bereaved parents and family in the terribly trying ordeal through which they are passing.
