Fell From Express
Early on Saturday morning the door of a compartment of the midnight express from Edinburgh was found open near Berwick, and on a search being made along the line the body of a soldier was found near Marshall Meadows, four miles north of Berwick. From the number and name on the waterproof coat the body is supposed to be that of 7049 James Devlin, 3rd Division 1st Gordon Highlanders, whose wife resides at 5 Temple Lane, Dundee.
