- Obituary
- FIGHTING FAMILY, THREE TITIRANGI BROTHERS, Private W. N. C. Bishop, who was killed in action on May 25, was the youngest of the three sons of Mr. J. J. Bishop, of Dunvegan, Titirangi, all of whom volunteered for active service. Private Bishop who was 21 years of age, was educated at the Titirangi and Avondale public at the Auckland Grammar School. As a lad of 17 he entered the service of the Postal Department in Wellington four years ago, and subsequently, was transferred to Auckland. He enlisted on attaining his twentieth birthday, and left with the twenty-eighth reinforcements less than a year ago. His eldest brother, Lieutenant J. J. Bishop, of the thirteenth reinforcements, was killed in action in October 1st. whilst leading his men with great gallantry during the severe fighting in Flanders. Sergeant T. A. Bishop, the only surviving brother, who left with the twelfth reinforcements, has been serving on the western front for the past year.
