If you could spare a few dollars to help with the running costs of hosting this website to keep it alive would be very much appreciated. Thankyou from Gravesites of Tasmania in advance.

Coombe, Mervyn John

Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Coombe of Campbell Town have received word that their son Private Mervyn Coombe had been killed in action in France. He was the third son of Mr. and Mrs. Coombe who had offered his services for King and country, Privates Clarence and Cyril Coomnbe his two brothers having returned home previously, suffering from gunshot in the arm, and shell shock, respectively. Before proceeding to the war Pte Mervyn Coombe was at one time engaged as assistant in the local Post Office. On Saturday the Australian flag was flying at half-mast at the local council chambers out of respect for the dead soldier.

Please note that there might be information from other websites or brochures "reprinted" here- under the laws of "fair use". In every instance -we hope- we have provided a direct link to the owners web site. We do not claim rights or ownership to any of their information. We do thank them sincerely for their efforts. We have in every instance made a good faith effort to contact and request 'reprint' permission. Nonetheless, we do want to be certain that nothing gets lost due to web site disappearance and the like, so it appears duplicated here.
