MY LOVING SON WAS FOND & TRUE GOD REST HIS SOUL IN PEACE WITH THEE
A telegram received from the military authorities, Brisbane, on Thursday evening last, conveyed the news that Private James Adams, No. 2026, late of 41st Battalion, had been killed in action on July 3rd. The sad message was given to Mrs. Adams, late of Terranora; but now of Tweed Heads, by the Rev. H. Lilley. The heartfelt sympathy of the people of Terranora and Tweed Heads is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Adams and family in the great loss that has befallen them.
