        CWMAMAN HERO DEAD.

        We regret to announce the death, which occurred on Saturday last at the Royal Infirmary, Sunderland, of Sergeant Morgan Thomas (No. 5775), 12 Aman Street, of the 2nd Welsh Regiment (C. Company), now at the front. Sergeant Thomas, who was a Reservist, was drafted to the front on August 5th, and went through the battle of Moins unscathed. At the battle of Ypres on November 17th he was wounded in the head by a bullet which penetrated the right cheek and came out through the left eye. He was sent to the Duchess of Westminster's Hospital at La Tonquet, Paris, where he remained unlil the beginning of this year. He was then transferred to England, and taken to the Royal Infirmary, Sunderland, where he succumbed to his wounds. The deceased hero, who was 39 years of age on Friday last, was highly popular in the locality, and possessed a host of friends. The body was brought home on Sunday last. The funeral (military) takes place on Thursday (to-day). He leaves a sorrowing widow and six little children, the eldest of whom is only 11 years of age.
