THE ROLL OF HONOUR.

CAPTAIN G. E. DANIELL. Mr and Mrs P. E. Doniell, of the Maim wain Heads, received a cable through the Minister of Defence, yesterday, notifying 1 them that their son, Captain G. E. Daniell, was killed in action in France on October -Ith, and expressing l his personal sympathy in the loss which the parents and Nmv Zealand have suffered. The late Captain Daniell was born at Bulls, and received his primary education in the Filzhcrbert East State school, and Wanganui Collegiate school. He joined the Palmerston branch of (lie Now Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Co., and subsequently was selected for the Royal New Zealand Artillery. He was stationed at Wellington and Auckland, and soon gained promotion. He was selected by General Godley to accompany him on many of Ins official tours of. inspection throughout the Dominion. When the war broke out lie volunteered for the front, and left with the Main body. He was at the original landing at Gallipoli, and remained there until the eva.euat.ion. It was while, at Gallipoli that lie was awarded (he Military Cross for distinguished services. He was promoted to acting-Major, and those in high places predicted for him a distinguished military career, hut tinfates willed otherwise. Those who were associated with him in the held of ha ti le —notably Capta in-Chap-lain Father Doro —speak of him as a gallant and heroic officer and a man in the truest sense of the word* honoured and respected by all. That lie gained such distinction as a soldier at such an early age, 26 years, speaks for itself. To the parents and relatives we, in common with the Foxton public,.extend our deepest sympathy.
