Double Funeral.

The funeral of the late Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Robson is to take place this evening, the cortego passing the Monument at 4.50 p.m.

As the late Mr. Robson had seen war service, was on the staff of the Royal Naval Dockyard and was

member of the Volunteer De fence Corps, it is probable that the interment will take place with military. honours.

Mr. Robson came to Hongkong from Sheerness, prior to which he had served at Chatham and at the Admiralty. He was a member of the Scottish Company of the Hongkong Volunteer Defence Corps, and took part in the guard of honour at "Edinburgh Castle" during the Military Tattoo at. Sookumpoo last October.

Mr. and Mrs. Robson, who for a time lived at the Peak Hotel, were married three years ago. There are no children.
