Kill Oldest Pensioner
In Chelsea Royal Hospital
LONDON, May 22.-A German night raider claimed as a victim Henry Augustus Rattray, an old soldier whose only grudge was against people who hid his cheroots.
Oldest pensioner at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, the 100-year-old former bandsman was killed with nine other veterans when a bomb levelled the Infirmary where they lay with other aged patients.
Rattray's life history will never be written, for even his closest eron- les knew little of his early years. He joined the 24th (2nd Warwick-1 shire) Regiment of Foot many years ago at least 00, for in 1001 his regiment became the South Wales Borderers.
