THREE TELEGRAMS IN ONE DAY. The Te Aroha News of September 27 1916 says - Mr John Timmins was the recipient of no less than three telegrams this morning announcing that three of his sons serving at the front had been put out of action. Private William Timmins, died of wounds on September 16, Private Charles Timmins was wounded in the hips and admitted to the hospital on the same date, while Private Edward Timmins was wounded in the thigh and foot, apparently on September 12th, having been admitted to the hospital on that date. Sincere sympathy is due to the bereaved parents and other members of the family in their loss. The parents have reason to be proud of having has six sons serving their country.
