“Anniversary Mass. A solemn requiem mass for the repose of the soul of the late Gunner Leo Ross was sung this morning at St. Michael’s Church.
The Rev. Father Killeen was the celebrant, and his altar boys were two young soldiers, Pte. J. Crawley and Pte. W. Smith. The Catholic members of the 155th Battalion attended in a body, in order to show their respect to their brave young comrade.”
