Bye Albert Walter

Born 1895 Cressy Tasmania the son of Walter and Ada Maria Bye (nee Watson), a farmer he embarked Melbourne 27^th September 1915 on board “HMAT Hororata” with the 12^th Infantry Battalion.

He was killed in action 28^th May 1918 in France and is commemorated in the Borre British Cemetery, France.

Our Turner’s Marsh correspondent writes – The Reverend L O Ferris conveyed the sad news on Saturday morning to Mr and Mrs Walter Bye that their second son Private Albert W Bye had been killed in action on May 28^th. The deceased, who went on active service about three years ago was 23 years of age and was the first to enlist from this district. The deceased was of a quiet unassuming nature and was greatly respected. He was a prominent member of the Methodist Church. The greatest sympathy is expressed for Mr and Mrs Bye and family.
