Son of Henry Job and Harriet Isobel STAFFORD, Tenindewa, Western Australia.
Mr. H. J. Stafford of Tenindewa was informed last Wednesday, that , his son L-Corporal L. H. Stafford was killed at the French front on October 8, He was only 26 years of age, and a popular son of a no less popular father. He was formerly an active member of the local Rowing Club. This paper desires to be numbered amongst the very many in our district who will sincerely sympathise with Mr Stafford and his family in the bereavement they have sustained.
