'CAPTAIN P. A. MURRAY KILLED
Captain P. A. Murray, who was well known in Whitley Bay, has been killed in action. Capt. Murray was the only son of Mr and Mrs. John Murray, of Whitley Bay, and was 44 years of age. He was a mining engineer by profession, and was engaged on the coast of Africa when the war broke out. He hurried home and offered his services to his old regiment, the Northumberland Fusiliers. He had gone through the Boer War, and his services were readily accepted. In October last Capt. Murray married Miss Dorothy Kirkup, of Whitley Bay.
News has also been received that Second-Lieut. J. G. Kirkup has been severely wounded in the left thigh.'
