ROLL OF HONOR. STUART – Killed in France (previously reported missing), Lewis Gunner Fred (Snowy) Stuart, aged 29, second son of Mr and Mrs W. Stuart, Woy Woy.

WOY WOY (From our Correspondent) Mr Walter Stuart, of Woy Woy, has been informed

that his son, Gunner Fred Stuart, who was reported

missing in last issue, has been killed in action in

France. Fred, who was a prominent lightweight

boxer of a few years ago, was practically reared in

Woy Woy, and was very popular with all who knew

him. We desire to extend our sympathy to Mr and

Mrs Stuart, who proved himself a thorough fighter,

whether in the hempen square or out of it.
