7/295 Sergeant Horace William Yaxley, 1892-11/3/1919.

KAIKOURA

General regret is expressed at the death of Sergeant Horace W. Yaxley, a Main Body man, who died of typhus fever in Alexandria Hospital, on March 11th. The deceased soldier had just recovered from an illness, and was reported Convalescent, but it was later announced that he had contracted a fever and was dangerously ill. The sad news of his death came as a heavy blow to his parents, Mr and Mrs Mark Yaxley, with whom much sympathy is felt.   -Press, 18/3/1919.
