Lance Corporal Victor PiperPrint Page 
Quite a gloom was cast over Cassilis on Saturday last when the sad news was received of the death of Lance-corporal Victor W. Piper, son of Mr. S. J. Piper, of Cassilis. The cable stated that he was killed on Ausust 18. On the same date his parents received a cable from him, dated August 9, saying that he was in London on furlough, and was feeling well. Apparently he was sent back to the front soon after he despatched the cable, and he was then killed as stated. The deceased soldier passed through the Gallipoli campaign, and the battle of Poziers. All deeply sympathise with the parents and relatives of the young soldier.
