Pānui Matenga

The sad intelligence was received yesterday afternoon that Captain G. C Mayne, who left New Zealand with the Main Expeditionary Force, had been killed in action at the Dardanelles Captain Mayne was a solicitor, and from March of last year till the date of his departure acted as managing clerk to Messrs de Lautour Barker, Stock and Matthews. He had seen a good deal of service with the Territorials at Nelson before coming to Gisborne, and with the Nelson volunteers joined a Canterbury regiment. Captain Mayne was in charge of the reliefs who came to the assistance of the Wellington Mounted Rifles when they were recently cut off. Shortly before leaving New Zealand Mr Mayne was married to a Christchurch young lady. The news of the death of such a gallant officer will be received with keen regret by his many friends in Gisborne
