A GALLANT FAMILY’S MISFORTUNE.

Regarding Lance-Corporal R. Yule, whose home is at 7 Hill Street, the official notification bears that he was admitted to Rouen Hospital on the 25th of March suffering from a gun-shot wound in the back.  Lance-Corporal Yule is a married man with two young children, and is one of five brothers who have all given service to their country in this great war.  Corporal John Yule of the Cameron Highlanders, and Private Adam Yule of the Black Watch, have already laid down their lives in the performance of their duty.

Lance-Corporal R. Yule was employed by J. & A. D. Grimond, Ltd., prior to the outbreak of war.
