Obituary — It is with deep regret that we have to record the passing of our Old Comrades.
Lieut Albert John Gough served with the Regiment for 18 months in France and Belgium. The serious nature of his wounds, received in 1918, eventually compelled him to leave his employment with the Merchants Rubber Company four years ago. We fear that far too few people realize today the fact that the war did not end for many in 1918. As the years pass the strain of active service days is still with those who did their share in France and Belgium.
