Mr. Paul Rogers, of North Quorn, received a message through the military authorities, that his son Francis Perrier Rogers, of the 50th Battalion, late of the 10th, was killed in action in France on August 16. The deceased soldier was born at Leigh's Creek, and was 23 years of age. He enlisted at Quorn on August 22, 1915, and embarked for the front on January 11, 1916. Previous to his enlisting he was employed on the permanent way. He possessed a bright and genial disposition, and was liked by all who knew him. The telegram was received by the Rev. A. E. Kain on Friday evening, who had the painful duty of informing the late Private F. P. Rogers' parents.
