BARNAWARTHA.
Word has been received that Sergeant
Ted Draper has been wounded in France.
This is the second time that Teddy has
been wounded. He has been three years
on service and his friends hope that his
wound is not a severe one. -
Private "Paddy" Devitt was also wounded
in this big fight. This is "Paddy's"
second time also. He was wounded at
Pozieres about two years ago, being shot
in the- heel. It was thought then that
he would be invalided home, but he was
patched up and returned to the firing line.
"Paddy" is a cousin of Private George
Boyce, of Tallangatta; whose death in
action was reported last week. They are
grandsons of late Mr. and Mrs. Boyce, of
Wangaratta, formerly of Barnawartha
