Mrs. Sarah Ann Royle of this city yesterday had definite word that her husband, Pte. Thomas Royle had been killed in action on May 3. Mrs. Royle a short time ago noticed in the casualty list her husband’s number, but the name was not correct. She immediately wired Ottawa and yesterday received a telegram stating that her husband had been reported killed. On attestation, her husband had given his next of kin’s address as England.
