Radford, Arthur

Born 5^th December 1872 Westbury Tasmania to Frederick and Eliza Radford (nee Davey) a farmer who embarked Melbourne 22^nd December 1914 on board “HMAT Ceramic” with the 15^th Infantry Battalion.

 He died 8^th May 1915 from wounds received on the Gallipoli Peninsula and is commemorated on the Lone Pine Memorial, Gallipoli, Turkey.

Quite a gloom was cast over Deloraine when the news came through that Private Arthur Radford had been killed in the Dardanelles. Deceased was a son of Mr. F. Radford, of Parkham, one of the best known and respected families in the district. The late Private Radford had not any previous military experience, but was one of the first to offer his services to his country. He was exceedingly popular throughout the district being of a very quiet and unassuming disposition. He took a great interest in cricket, and was a wicketkeeper of more than average ability. The sincerest sympathy is felt throughout the district for his relatives.

The Examiner 25^th May 1915
