LEAVES WIDOW AND FOUR YOUNG CHILDREN.
Mrs Robert Bogan, Grievesland Terrace, Kelty, has received official intimation that her husband was killed in action on April 22d. Private Robert Bogan joined the Black Watch in September last year, and landed in Mesopotamia in February. Of a quiet and unassuming nature, he had the making of an ideal solder, and his death is widely mourned. He was 31 years old, and leaves a widow and four young children. Private Bogan was a native of Dundee, and his mother resides at 3 Paradise Road. Her eldest son was killed in the Boer War, and another son in the Army Service Corps, is at present in Hospital.
