The War. Gunner David Edmunds, R.F.A. Killed in action in France June 3rd, 1917. Son of Mrs. Margaret Edmunds, 405 Cardiff Road, Aber- aman, and the late Mr. Charles Ed- munds (Ffrwdonwy). He spent 18 mouths in France, and previous to enlisting was employed at Cwmneol Colliery. His mother received letters front the Commander of his Battery and also from Lieut. D. L. Elles. The former wrote: "It is my painful duty to acquaint you of the death of your son, which occurred at eight this morning. He was always cheer- ful and bright, and was very keen in his work. He was one of the shining lights of our Battery, and we could ill afford to lose him. Was very popular among his comrades, who knew him as Dai. As a telephonist, thojigh but a beginner, he was risen to the top, having recently obtained the highest distinction in that de- partment. It is comforting to know that he had a painless death, being killed instantaneously by a German nlioll. He will be buried to-morrow in a large cemetery. Accept the heartfelt sympathy of all the offic,ei-s.The Chaplain, Rev. James Evans, wrote a Welsh letter to Mrs. Edmunds, in which he stated he had the privilege of officiating at the burial, which was attended by a l¡.¡r\ number of Gunner Edmunds' l'ade&.
