COURIER EMPLOYEE KILLED
Another Dundee “Courier” employee has made the supreme sacrifice. Intimation has been received that Gunner Albert Whitham, R.F.A., has been killed in action. Deceased, who was 26 years of age, was a native of Leeds, and was employed in the process department of the Dundee “Courier” for about three years. He was of a cheery disposition, and his loss will be regretted by his colleagues.
