"HE DID HIS DUTY."

HOW. CHAPLAIN-MAJOR, GRANT FELL, Mr. G. T. Bull, secretary of Abercorn Lodge, Gisborne, has received particutors of the death of Chaplain-Major Grant from Sappe;' C. E. Stevens, 4--inerlViOf tho luolic Works Department at ttisborne. Writing from the Dardanelles under date September 6, Sapper Stevens states: — "A peculiar position arose as one trench was held conjointly- by Australasians and Turks, divided only by a sandbag barricade, over which bombs were continually hurled by both parties, with the result that there' were, of course, casualties on both sides. Bro. Grant had apparently heard that one of tho hoys was either killed or lvounded there, so with <i mcdical man went round there, not knowing that tho Turks held a portion. Tho result was j..iat tlie enemy fired at him, killing Imn instantly, I believe. The pity of it is that had they asked anyone in that section could have told th'em that tho Turks were in possession. Service was read l over our brother's remains by Chaplain-Captain AY. L. Blamires, .of Trinity Church (Methodist), W'angauui, who has asked sonio'ol' his hoys' (the Canterbury Mounted Rifles, I tliink) to make a wooded cross and a nice tidy grave.' Our brother rests on a little flat in the middle of some foothills about half to three-quarters of a milo

from where lie fell, -anti I would givo a great deal for just one sprig of that Emblem which is so well deserved in lii.s case, for all men must say 'He did his duty.' "
