"We produce above a portrait of Private F. H. Welch, D.C.L.I., second son of Mr & Mrs W. H. Welch of Advent, Camelford whose death in India from influenza at the age of 21 years we recorded last week. A bright and cheerful boy, he was beloved by all who new him. Private Welch enlisted in 1914 and had been in India nearly two years. An elder brother is in India and another is serving this country. The bereaved family called upon to mourn the loss of an excellent son have the sympathy of one and all."
