PRIVATE JAMES WILSON, GLASS
Intimation was received yesterday by Mr Wm Wilson, Dillybrae in the employment of Mr Frederick Bridge, Cairnborrow Lodge, Glass, that his younger son Private James Wilson of the Canadians had been killed at the front.
Private Wilson had visited his parents in spring after coming from Canada for training in this country. He was 25 years of age and had only been two months at the front. He leaves a widow and child. Private Wilson was of a quiet and industrious disposition and his death is much regretted in the district.
