OBITUARY.



BOSCAWEN. —Killed in action on the 29 th of October, near Ypres, Second

Lieutenant the Honble. Vere Douglas Boscawen, Coldstream Guards,

third son of Viscount and Viscountess Falmouth, aged twenty four.


It is with the deepest regret that we liave to record Mr.

Vere Boscawen’s death on the battlefield.


He was a member of our Society who always read the

Magazine with the greatest interest, and his intense love of birds,

and especially perhaps of Waterfowl, was a very real one. When he

first went out to the war, having a free day before going to the

fighting front, he employed his time in visiting some well-known

resort of wildfowl in France, several miles away.


His personality was full of a great charm, with a gaiety,

simplicity, and gentleness of spirit out of the common. No one

who knew him well could but feel for him strong affection. For

some weeks it was hoped that he was wounded and a prisoner of

the German army, and it was not until the second week of December

that his death was known of.
