Mr. Thomas Bailey, Parattah, has received official notice, through Rev. L. Alley, Oatlands that his son Private John Bailey has been killed in action by gunshot wound through the head. Private Bailey (Clancey) had been nearly three years on active service. He was buried at Pozieres. He had been badly wounded three times and in a letter home, lately received, he wrote that he had been a target to the Germans, for he was scars from the crown of his head to his feet. Yet his letters were always bright and cheery. Much regret is expressed throughout for the brave fallen soldier who leaves two brothers still "somewhere in France."
