Storay, Albert Forrester

Born 23^rd November 1894 Ulverstone Tasmania to James and Clara Storay (nee Hutton) a labourer who embarked Melbourne 4^th June 1915 on board “HMAT Ajana” with the 15^th Infantry Battalion

He served in Gallipoli where he became ill and died 20^th September 1915 in Egypt from Pharyngitis and was buried in the Alexandria (Chatby) Military and War Memorial Cemetery, Egypt.

His brother Pte Percy James Storay (No 4880) died in France 29^th April 1917 from wounds received in the field and was buried in the St Sever Cemetery Extension, Rouen, France

Mr. and Mrs. J. Storay of Carman town, Penguin, have received the sad news by cable from the Defence Department, through the Rev. W. A. Abbott, of the death of their son, Private Albert Forrester Storay (Bert), at the No. 7 Hospital, Alexandria; of illness, on September 20. Deceased would have been 21 years of age the day before the news was received. Much sympathy is expressed throughout the district for Mr. and Mrs. Storay and family, the sad intelligence being the more keenly felt by them in view of the fact that they had recently received a letter posted on September 13 which gave no warning, its tone being quite cheery. A paper bearing the date September 16, which was but four days before his death, also came to hand. The deceased was of a genial disposition, and a large circle of friends mourn his loss.
