THE LATE CORPORAL R FLETT.
Mr Robert Flett, an old and respected resident of Port Pirie, received on Friday night news that his son, Corporal Roy Flett, had been killed in action on November 5.   Corporal Flett, who had been residing with his parents in Unley Park, was 26 years of age.  He enlisted in August. 1915, and  left Australia in January last.   He was wounded in August, but returned to the firing line and fought beside many of his  former Port Pirie friends, who in their  letters spoke in high terms of his soldierly qualities.   He was a cabinetmaker, and  when at Port Pirie worked for Mr. W. J.  Pimlott, about half of whose staff have left for the front.   Afterwards he followed his trade at the Adelaide Joinery Works.   He was of good physique and a fine type of soldier.   His kindly and genial temperament endeared, him to all with whom he came, into contact.   He was an enthusiastic lacrosse player, and when a  member of the Port Pirie club, most of the members of which have joined the colors, he was chosen as a representative  for South Australia against Victoria.   
After going to Adelaide he played for the Sturt club and was again selected for inter-State lacrosse matches.
