Mr. Alfred John Terry died very suddenly at his parents' residence at Scottsdale on Tuesday afternoon. Deceased, who was 31 years of age, was an ex-soldier who had been badly gassed in France, and was under treatment from the Repatriation Hospital, Hobart, in which institution he has been an inmate off and on since his return from the war. He had been out walking during the day, and after arrving home suddenly collapsed, and died about an hour afterwards. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon, the service at the graveside being conducted by Rev. Walter Walters Military honors were accorded in the covering of the coffin with the Union Jack and the sounding of the
Last post at the conclusion of the service. A number of returned soldiers attended, and the local sub-branch of the League was represented by the president (Mr. G. S. Prasons). There were a very great number of floral tributes.
