WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SAID WELL DONE WE HOPE TO MEET YOU LATER
Word has been received by the Rev. Father Cahill (Adm.) Goulburn, of the death of Lance-Sergeant John James O'Neill, of the 20th Battalion, who was killed in action on August 11. The deceased soldier, who was a native of Goulburn, was educated at the Christian Brothers' School, and was a fine manly fellow, respected by all who knew him. Much sympathy is felt for his bereaved relations.
