Webber, Francis Llewellyn

Born 7^th June 1894 Evandale Tasmania to Frank and Annie Webber (nee Wells) a farmer who departed Melbourne 27^th September 1915 on board “HMAT Hororata” with the 12^th Infantry Battalion.

He was serving with the 52^nd Battalion when he was killed in action 4^th September 1916 and is commemorated in the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial, France.

Mrs T. J. Webber of Blessington has received the following report in reference to her son (Private F. L. Webber), who has been missing since September 4:-"France. F. A. Maunder, 822; F. L. Webber, 2859. They both belonged to the Scout P.L., and went out with a fatigue party carrying bombs on September 3 in the night. They got into a trench, of which we held part and the Germans held part. By mistake they got over a barricade among the Germans. Webber was badly wounded and got back over the barricade. Maunder did not get back. Webber was very bad, and must have died. I was at Kay's dump and saw members of the party as they came back.
