    Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Redstone, of Gisborne, received the sad advice recently that their son, Corporal Bernard E. Redstone, previously reported missing, was killed in action on October 4. Corporal Redstone, who left with the twenty-fifth reinforcements, was very well known all over [the] Gisborne district, and had a wide circle of friends. Corporal Redstone was educated at the Gisborne main and high schools, and on leaving school entered the engineering profession, but was compelled to relinquish this after three years as a result of bad health. He then joined the staff of Messrs. Kirk, Burnard, and Sievwright, solicitors, and prior to enlisting was engaged in the motor business of Messrs. J. R. Redstone, Ltd.
