Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

The sad news was received on Friday last that Private Cecil Traill, second son of Mr A. I. Traill, of ''Llangollan,'' Cassilis, had been killed in action in France. Private Traill was a great favorite, and was respected and esteemed by all who knew him. Mr. Traill has another son who has been at the front ever since the war broke out. To the bereaved parents and relatives we extend our deepest sympathy in the loss of their hero son.
Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative (NSW),
