NEW ZEALANDER’S FATAL WOUNDS.
The death has occurred, as the result of wounds, of Private David P. Beverley of the New Zealand Force, a son of Mr and Mrs George Beverley, Bromwell Cottage, Monikie, and formerly of North Mains of Kinnettles. Private Beverly, who was 34 years of age, formerly assisted his father at North Mains of Kinnettles, but about eleven years ago he went to New Zealand, where prosperity attended his work in agriculture. He enlisted in May last year and came to this country with a draft in November.
