Mysterious Death Of 2 Patients
Two soldiers, both attendants at 11 3th AGH, died in unusual circumstances early today. Police are investigating. They were Herbert Hallam, 49, and Sylvester John Scullen, 34.

At 2 am today he became worse and was removed to a ward, where he died at 4 am. Scullen was found dead in bed in his hut at 6 am. Police have been told that Scullen was seen lying fully clothed on his bed at 10 o'clock last night. He was groaning, but as he had been known to groan in bed on previous occasions little notice was taken. A post-mortem is being held.
