JESUS HAS VANQUISHED DEATH AND ALL ITS POWERS
SERGT. J. T. PHILIOT.
Wounded in action at the Dardanelles, is the youngest son of Mr. ad Mrs. W. T. Philpot, of Lithgow. He is 20 years of age, took a great deal of interest in military matters from an early age; was a Lieutenant in the senior cadets, and went to England with the Coronation Cadets.
"Word has been received by Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Philpot that their son "Jim," who was slightly wounded in the Dardanelles fighting, has been invalided to London. The local lad is evidently convalescent, otherwise the journey would not have been undertaken.
