"THE LATE PRIVATE T. B. S. RICHARDSON.
Mrs M. Richardson, of John-street, Hindmarsh, has been officially notified that her husband, Private T. B. S. Richardson, was killed in action on August 5 (within three days of the second anniversary of his wedding). He left for the front on January 12 last. He had been through several actions unscathed. Private Richardson was the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Richardson, of John-street, Hindmarsh. He was of a kindly disposition, and endeared himself to all who were associated with him.
He was for two years and nine months in the employ of the Municipal Tramways Trust, and was very popular with his fellow employes. He resigned from the Trust to follow his calling as brickmaker, and he was a member of the Brickmakers' Union, in the activities of which he displayed great interest. He was a keen follower of athletic sports, and at one time was a playing member of the West Torrens junior football club." - from the Adelaide Advertiser 18 Sep 1916 (nla.gov.au)
