"LATE PTE. R. D. E. MUTTON.
YONGALA, March 26.— Mr. and- Mrs. S. Mutton were officially notified that their second son, Pte. R. D. E. (Reg.) Mutton, had been killed in action in France on March 6. Flags were flown at half-mast. The deceased soldier was born at Yongala nearly 23 years ago, and lived there until he enlisted on April 4, 1916. He sailed for England on August 12 of the same year. Prior to enlisting he was employed by the Mutual Life Assurance Company. He took an active interest in cricket, football, and tennis, and was one of Yongala's leading sportsmen. He also was a cornet player in the local brass band. The deceased had a genial disposition, and was popular." - from the Adelaide Observer 17 Apr 1917 (nla.gov.au)
