New Liskeard's Killed

News has been received that Billy Wallace and Alfred Pilkington, two young Englishmen who were living here when the war broke out, and enlisted with the first contingent, were poisoned with gases at the great battle last week. Billy Wallace was a brother of Harry Wallace whose home is here, and Alfred Pilkington was a brother of Louis Pilkington who was an employee of the Speaker for several years. His father lives here. They were loyal young men, and freely gave their lives for their country.
