Mr. E. A Head, of Robinson street, Moonee Ponds, wishes us to state that his son, No. 1563, Cpl. Harry Head, is quite well. Owing to his photo being shown at the picture theatre an impression seems to have got abroad that the young fellow has been killed. Happily this is untrue, and his friends will be glad to learn that he is safe.
