How Private P. W. Vi was Kited.Private J. H. Smythe, a Pin-naroo volunteer, writing: from Gallipoli Peninsula to Mr W. Venning, added the following “ Percy and I had been comrades and had much in common. It is a consolatiop, though a aad one, to know that he died a *death, giving up his life in an attempt to fetch his comrades water. Volunteers were called tor to make the attempt They had to ran the gauntlet of a fierce fire tor a considerable distance over a bare plateau, and it was during the rush over that Percy was hit I have not been able to gather any details about after he was carried out but expect the hospital authorities wfll send you his papers and personal effects. We are all glad to think that vou and all Pinnaroo will be proud to know that your son fell bravely doing his duty, as we. his comrades, knew he would. Things are quiet here at present just a flare up now and again. The trouble is that the Turks’artillery pester us considerably.”
