Colonel Hardy wrote: 'He is buried at Brown's Dip, the grave adjoining others of our own unit. Captain Bennett officiated, and some officers, non-coms. and men of the unit attended the service. I cannot tell you how deeply we feel his loss. He cannot be replaced. He was a very great favourite. . . . He would have been promoted sgt. in a few days. In the operating tent he made his influence much felt.' ('The All-Australia Memorial: Victoria Section') |
