Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

Son of Stephen and Phyllis NORTHILL, Strathmerton, Victoria

ETERNAL HONOR GIVE HAIL AND FAREWELL HE DIED THAT WE MIGHT LIVE

Mr and Mrs S. Northill, of Strathmerton, have received the sad intelligence that their youngest son, Lance-Corporal Thomas John Northill, has been killed in action in France. The deceased soldier, who was only 22 years of age, was a fine manly young fellow and the news that he has given his life in the course of duty has caused a widespread feeling of regret, and sincere sympathy is felt for the bereaved relatives in their great loss.
