The war has claimed another promising young man by the death last week at the Military Hospital, Cromary, of Lance Corporal George Munro, Seaforths. Deceased was the son of Mrs Munro, 50 Kenneth Street, and had served with the Seaforth Highlanders early in the war, enduring many hardships as the result of which he was invalided home. Of a bright though quiet disposition, he was a favourite in the district of Ness, where he was well-known, and a particular favourite with his officers who have expressed great sympathy with Mrs Munro and her daughter, and their high appreciation of the deceased’s character and capabilities, which gave promise of early promotion.
