New £500 Professional Tournament: The Virtue Of Flight: Butcher Henson: "Gentleman Jack": Bishop Talbot And His Sons
(Special Air Mall Service.)
London, February 3. ADDED TO ROLL OF HONOUR
The case of Mr.William Murray, the ex-soldler who died as the result of a wound received in 1917, raises some interesting points.
The coroner, Mr. Ingleby Oddie, recorded as his verdict yesterday that the man's death was directly due to the war wound. In this case, he would, presumably, be entitled to have his name added to any roll of honour or local memorial, where the names of the fallen are inscribed in full.
Moreover, he is also official of the British Legion told me, enti- tled to a military funeral. In such cases, after consultation with the relatives, application may be made to the local military au- thorities through the nearest branch of the British Legion.
Providing that the funeral takes place within twelve miles of the nearest artillery depot-who are responsible for supplying the gun carriage-the request in such in- stances is usually granted.
