THIS TORONTO SOLDIER DIED ON NATAL DAY
Late Pte. Chas. A. Miller Was 21 — Two Surviving Brothers at Front

On June 1, Private Charles A. Miller, of Toronto, reached his majority; he was 21 years of age. On the same day he died in the 10th Stationary Hospital at St.Omer; he laid his life down for his country. Yesterday the official message conveying the sad news reached his parents at their home at 88 Power St.
Pte. Charles A. Miller was an Ontario boy, born in Lindsay, and he worked for the Canadian Bag Co.

Mr. and Mrs. I. Miller are stricken with grief at the loss of their son. They had three sons at the front: Charlie, aged 21, of the Mississauga Horse; Harold, aged 28 years, of the same regiment, and Eddie, who stands six feet, 17 years of age, with the Second Field Ambulance. The latest news of the two other boys is that they are well. The eldest boy was born in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. In the family are seven sisters, besides three more sons very young. The eldest sons are all on active service. Few homes have given more than this one to service of the Empire, and the parents with tears rolling down their cheeks showed the telegram to the reporter to-day.
