brother, Capt the Hon. Thomas lister,

that of Mai Lord Crichton. heir of the
late Earl of I0rne. In the heavy fighting

enemy. December 3 the Earl of Erne

died and had never succeeded 10 the title.
Lord Crichton was a member of the
victorian Order and an equerry of the
King. He and his three brothers serve
through the Boer war. His widow is an
aunt of the Duke of Westminster.
Lord Halfour of Burleigh also mourne
the loss of his heir. as do the Marquis

ages who have given their lives is
Prince Maurice of Battenberg, brother
of the Queen of Spain and cousin OF
King George. and Lord Crichton, while
among the relatives of peers more or
less distinctly concerned in the success
