TASMANIAN CASUALTIES

General regret was expressed throughout the Sprent district when the sad news became known that Pte. Aubrey (Mick) Buck had been killed in action in France. The deceased soldier was a native of Sheffield, but spent the most of his time at Sprent where he was very popular. Pte. Buck enlisted from Sprent about 18 months ago with a number of other local boys.
