 Died from Sickness.

The death occurred at Dunedin on Friday of Private Peter John McGill, whoso parents reside at City Road, Roslyn. He was the eldest son of Mr John McGill (a member of McGill, Ltd, millers, formerly in business at Milton) and Mrs Isabella McGill. Private McGill was educated at Toko. High School. He was a prominent oarsman, and a member of the Otago Rowing Club and the Invercargill Rowing Club. He enlisted with the Main Body, but was a victim to enteric fever, was invalided home, and had been an inmate of Dunedin Hospital at intervals since his return to the Dominion. The remains were interred at Anderson's Bay Cemetery yesterday. The pall-bearers and firing party were supplied by the Returned Soldiers' Association, and the band of the Fourth Regiment was in attendance.  -Bruce Herald, 2/12/1918.

Peter McGill was invalided home with typhoid but seems to have died of pneumonia as a result of Spanish flu.
