A MISSING SOLDIER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE ARGUS.

Sir-I should be deeply grateful to any returned soldier who can give me tidings concerning Private Richard Butt, D Company, 7th Battalion, who was in the landing at Gallipoli. He was first reported missing, and subsequently killed, but his mother on whose behalf I am writing can obtain no particulars whatever. --Yours, &c.,

(Mrs ) M. BARNARD
