Pte H Robinson Killed
Pte H Robinson, aged 23, of the Australian Contingent, son of the late Mr Chas Robinson, of Raunds, was killed in action on October 4th. Deceased emigrated to Australia with his mother, about six years ago, after the death of his father. The Rev G W Carter, has sent the following letter to the deceased soldier’s aunt, Mrs W Walters, Chelveston-road, Raunds: “You will probably have heard by this time the sad news that Pte Robinson was killed in action by enemy shell fire on October 4th. A small parcel addressed to him arrived from you yesterday. Under the circumstances I did with is as I thought you would wish—opened it and gave the contents to such of his comrades as needed them.”
