SUDDEN DEATH OF A GUNNER

From Our Own Correspondent

I regret to say that Gunner Samuel Madge, R.M.A., died very suddenly on board the Warspite. He was missed when the watch were falling-in, and on search being made, was found under a barbette - dead. A post-mortem examination was held on board, and it was found that the cause of death was heart disease. The body was buried on shore the following day, in the English cemetery with naval honours.
