Arthur Gibbons Killed in Action

On Monday word was received by Mr. J. Gibbons, West River Street, that his son, Pte. Arthur Gibbons had been killed in action on Sept. 15, 1916. He was born at Skendleby, England, and came to Paris five years ago. He first enlisted in the 58th Batt., and later was drafted into the 38th Batt., leaving for England upwards of a year ago. There he was transferred to the 20th Batt., and went over to France last Jan. as one of a machine gun section. His wife and one child, as also his mother, left for England last month, where the late Pte. Gibbons was to have met them later. His sister and second daughter left here for the old land later. Deceased was a member of the church of the Sacred Heart. His twin brother, Private Alfred Gibbons is at present with the 125th Batt., at Bramshott Camp, England. The bereaved ones will have the sympathy of the community in their trouble.
