Many Australian soldiers, in writing of the evacuation of Gallipoli, mentioned with what deep sorrow they deserted the graves of their brave, sleeping comrades. Among the rest, picturesquely situated on the edge of a field-of corn, and marked by a white cross, is the last resting-place of Lance-Corporal H. Stout, of the South Australian Field Ambulance.
Exactly a week before his death Brother Stout wrote to a friend, expressing implicit confidence in all the fundamental principles of the truth, referring especially to some points that had previously troubled him. He spoke of having, spent much time in carefully, reviewing the prophecies of Daniel.
Early in the Morning of August 21, while engaged in his Work for the wounded, he was struck in the forehead by shrapnel, and lived only about ten minutes.
A large circle of friends mourn their loss, but look forward with confidence to the time when they shall meet him on the other side of sorrow.
A FRIEND.
