Mr. and Mrs. David [sic] Walpole received word last Thursday that their son, David, had died of wounds received in Battle in France.

Another son, Leonard,. had previously paid the supreme sacrifice.

These two young men were of the finest type of manhood and their death brings sorrow to a large number of friends, and extreme sadness to their parents.

Mr. Walpole, in speaking to a friend concerning the death of his two sons in France, said that he was in hopes that at least one of them would come back so that he would be able to show the people how proud 
he was of him.
