HE LOVED HONOUR MORE THAN HE FEARED DEATH REQUIESCAT IN PACE
Going into the Trenches.
Yesterday Mr A. A. Dunne, of Traralgon received a brief but significant cable message from his son, Sylvester. The wire was dated from Lcndon August 21, and read: Going into the trenches today. Well Love to all." The telegram was seven days on the way, and it may have been sent from France by way of London, or Corporal Dunne may have been in London, and was on his way direct to the front. He is in the A Coy. 21st Batt., 6th Infantry Brigade.
