Tinsley, Playhouse manager, Morpeth, of the death of his brother, Private George E, Tinsley, of the D.L.I., who was severely wounded last July in the great offensive. The deceased since that time had been a patient of several hospitals in the country, but succumbed to his terrible injuries on Sunday last at the War Hospital, Gosforth.
