LATE SERGEANT MALCOLM.
Mr. E. J. Malcolm, Cook's Hill, has received a statement through thb Red Cross Information Bureau Branch, Newcastle, from Private I. C. Collins, now in Harefield Park Hospital, England, saying that he was in the same company as the late Sergeant E. S. Malcolm when he was killed. They were engaged carrying bombs between the trenches in Fleurbalson on the 19th July, and saw a shell burst right in front of Sergeant Malcolm, killing him instantly. He also states that he was a fine fellow in his work, and always liked by his men. Mr. Malcolm would be pleased if any of the R.S.A. men could give him any further information regarding the above.
