We regret to state that a telegram was received in Shanghai last Friday announcing the death of Mr. David White, a well-known legal resident. Death occurred aboard the str. Gleniffer en which Mr. White, along with Mrs. White, had left for Home only about three weeks ago, and it is understood that the deceased has been buried at Bangkok whither the Gleniffer was bound.
Mr. White, who was a native of Barrhead, near Glasgow, is understood to have spent some time in Manchester prior to coming to the Var East.' As representative of a Manchester firm he had travelled widely in these regions during the past 20 years, his work taking him from Singapore to the Philippines and to the different ports in China. He had spent several years in the Philippines, and ultimately settled in business in China, being labterly associated with Messrs. Dent Mr. White had been an enthusiastic volunteer, and about the time of its inception in 1914 had joined the Shanghai Scottish, 8.V.C., very quickly rising to the position of Company Quartermaster-Sergeant. This position he filled to the great advantage of the unit until Jess than a year ago when ill-health compelled his resignation.
is safe to say that in no circle in Shanghai more than among the volunteers will his death be regretted. He was a member of the Shanghai Club and Golf Club, with whose members, as with the general public, he was very popular.
The deceased, who was married only about two years ago, is survived by a widow.
