Son of John and Ada PINEL
Of 61 Lyttleton St., Launceston, Tas
Mr and Mrs. John Pinel, of 61 Lyttelton-street, Launceston, have received news of the death from wounds on March 28 in France of their eldest son, Philip. He died at the 3rd Canadian Stationary hospital, but there is no word yet as to when or how he was wounded. He could have been only a very short time in France, as a telegram from England reached here early this month, announcing his departure for the front. He left Tasmania in February, 1917, and after four or five months' training on Salisbury Pain, was put into the signalling school, passed his classification early in December, taking second place, with an average of 97.5 marks, and was finally drafted for France in March of this year. Previous to going into camp he was in the employ of the Launceston Corporation, and had been for about two years in charge of the tramway office in Invermay.
