Jago, Leonard Francis

The son of Arthur Jago of Somerset Tasmania he and his brother William Claude Jago departed Brisbane 5^th October 1915 on board “HMAT Warilda” with the 26^th Infantry Battalion

Was fatally hit by a bullet in the chest 29^th July 1916 near Poziers and was buried in the Courcelette British Cemetery, France.

An advice was received on Wednesday from the Defence Department by Mr. A. Jago, of Somerset, to the effect that his second son. Private Leonard Francis Jago, had been missing since July 29th last. Pte Jago was a member of the 26th Battalion, and it is feared that he paid the supreme sacrifice like many other young men from these parts in the July engagements which added further glory to the deeds of the Australians.
