PRIVATE HARRY STANMORE.
Mrs. Stanmore, of Beatrice-street, Auburn, has received word that her eldest son, Private Harry Stanmore, was killed in action in France on 19th September. He was 33 years of age and leaves a wife and three children, who reside at Manly. He was attached to the 2nd Battalion, and left for the front in April last year. He was in England a few months before going to France. He was in the trenches before Christmas. For a time he was in hospital in France suffering from trench fever, and, after going back to the firing lino, he went through several stunts. He was a native of Auburn, and attended the public school, and was consequently well known. Before enlisting he was in business as a newsagent at Cremorne. There is much sympathy with deceased's mother, who has had a big share of trouble since the war started. She lost her husband by death, then her son-in- law was killed at the front, nd now her eldest son has been taken from her.
