MAUNGATUROTO
(Own Correspondent)
LOCAL HEROES IN FRANCE.
Again it is our sad duty to record the deaths of two more of our brave lads who left this district to do their duty to their King and Empire, and who have laid down their lives on the fields of France.
On the whole, the Maungaturoto lads appear to have been fortunate. During the Gallipoli campaign the two brothers Harrison were killed; but since then, though several were wounded, none was killed till the recent advance in France, when Trooper Innes Finlayson, A.M.K., and Private Kingsley Satchwell, A Batallion, were killed in action. The former is the second son of the late Alex. Finlayson, and is one of four brothers who enlisted. His elder brother left with the main body, and was wounded at Gallipoli and invalided home. Another brother is still in France and one in Egypt.
Kingsley Satchwell was the nephew of the Rev. T. W. Potts, and had resided here f'or only a comparatively short time when the call came, and he, too, joined the colours.
A memorial service was held in the Congregational Church on Sunday last. There was a very large congregation in attendance, and the Rev. Potts delivered a very fine sermon on the supreme sacrifice made by these two men.
In order to provide additional funds for patriotic purposes, it is proposed to hold a Fair on a large scale in December. Provisional committees have been set up, and the initial steps taken.
