News has been received of the death of Corporal C Shepherd, third son of Mr. Hyett Shepherd, of Black Forest, who went to the Darndanelles from Western Australia as a member of the Light Horse. Corporal Shepherd, who was 33 years of age, fought in the South African War. He was an inventor as well as a soldier, and just before going to the front he patented a portable weighing machine to obviate the difficulty experienced in country districts, where weigh-bridges are few and far between. By its means loads up to 10 tons could be weighed loaded on a cart. Unfortunately he did not live to enjoy the fruits of his ingenuity.

HOW A HERO DIED.
Mrs. Symes. of Unley Park, has received the following letter from an officer concerning the death of her son, Private T. J. Symes: -"He was in my machine gun section. We were being bombed by a German aeroplane, and as soon as it was sighted we had to get our horses off the lines and scatter them. When the first bomb burst quite close to our lines Tom was watering his horses, and instead of thinking of his own safety he bravely stuck to his horses. The second bomb badly shattered one of his legs and killed both his horses. He was taken away to the field hospital, and I understand that the doctors found it necessary to amputate the leg, and he died some time afterwards. Unfortunately I was not able to be with him at the end, but during the time he was lying wounded before he was taken to hospital I never heard him complain and he bore his suffering like a true Australian, it happened at 6.30 o'clock on June 1, and we buried him with several others the same evening under a clump of palms by the railway. The brigadier and his staff attended the funeral,and we have fenced in the little cemetery, and are erecting crosses over the graves. It would be hard for me to express how I feel his loss. He was one of my very best men and one whom I could always rely on. The whole regiment mourns the death of a true comrade. Your son received his wounds while gallantly doing his duty."
