DUNDEE RESERVIST DIES ABROAD.
The sad intelligence has been received by Mrs James Clarkin, 11 Crescent Street, Dundee, that her husband, Gunner James Clarkin, has died of enteric fever in hospital abroad.
Gunner Clarkin was 48 years of age, and being a reservist was called up at the outbreak of war. He came over from Canada, and joined the Royal Scots Fusiliers. Prior to enlistment he was employed in the Caledon Foundry, and leaves a widow, with five of a family, two sons having seen much of the recent fighting.
