Woods, Leslie

He was born Baker’s Creek Huon Tasmania, a labourer who departed Melbourne 30^th September 1916 on board “HMAT Palermo” with the 12^th Infantry Battalion.

He was killed in action 18^th February 1917 and is commemorated in the Warlencourt British Cemetery, France.

Sorrow was expressed in the Bakers Creek district Huon recently when the Reverend Mr Goldsworthy conveyed to Mrs W Woods the tidings of the death of her son Leslie who was killed in France after only a few hours in action. The father of the brave young soldier and a brother are also in France. Leslie Woods was a stirling young man, devoted to his parents a good sport and deservedly popular with all who knew him. They sympathy of residents is with the family in their bereavement.
