It is with extreme regret that we re-
cord the death of a fine young soldier in
the person of Sergeant Arthur Deans,
son of Mr J. R. Deans, managing clerk
for Mr B. S. Herring, Maryborough,
word having been received by Mr Deans
on Tuesday that his son was killed in
action in France. As a scholar, Ser-
geant Deans had a brilliant career.
Starting at the Prince Alfred school,
Talbot, under Mr K. Ellis (at present
acting head teacher of school 404), he
gained a scholarship. His next step was
Queen's College, Maryborough, from
which he matriculated, and entered
Scotch College, and then took the
classical side of the arts course at the
University, obtaining exhibitions each
year. At the time of enlisting Sergeant
Deans was a student at law, and was at-
tached to the artillery. Much sympathy
will be felt for Mr and Mrs Deans in the
loss of such a fine young son. —"Stand-
ard."
