"THE LATE PRIVATE C. L. WALKER.
Information has been received from the military authorities of the death of Private Clarence Leslie Walker, aged 20 years, who was killed in action in France on December 13. He was the youngest son of Mrs. A. Walker, of 10, Miller-street, North Unley, and the late Mr. W. J. Walker, of Port Pirie. He enlisted in August, 1915, and after spending several months in camp sailed for Egypt on February 7, 1916. From Egypt he was sent to England, and after spending three months there he left for France, where he paid the supreme sacrifice. He was of a bright and cheerful disposition, and was loved by all. Much sympathy is felt for his widowed mother, as he was her main support." - from the Adelaide Chronicle 20 Jan 1917 (nla.gov.au)
