By sudden removal of the heads of the family within four hours of each other, no less than seven children have been left totally unprovided for. To Captain Driberg's memory the Corps to which he belonged has borne honourable testimony, and the universally respected character of the parents has given rise to a great feeling of sympathy towards their offspring.” | | | Remarks | Section: Obituary of the uncommemorated: See image for details. | | | First page |  View image |
