Mrs. F. V. Smith, of Elizabeth Street, Sydney, has been informed of the death in action of her sonm Lieutenant Teasdale Boakc Smith, on October 3, during the recent offensive in Flanders. Lieutenant Smith, who was a nephew of the late Australian poet, Barcroft Henry Boake, belonged to tho celebrated 1st Australian Division. He was wounded on the day of the landing at Gallipoli, and was twice wounded In France, where he received his promotion. The gallant young officer was extremely popular, and endeared himself to his men. Of his two soldier brothers, one, Captain B. T. Smith, has returned from France invalided; the other, Harry Boakc Smith, one of the youngest soldiers in tho service, is still in the fighting
line.
