"LATE LCE.-CPL. FRANK PERRY.
Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Perry, of Broken Hill, have received news of the death of their eldest son Frank, as a result of wounds received in action. Lce.-Cpl Frank Perry was well known and highly respected in Broken Hill and Kadina. He was born at Kadina 26 years ago, and at an early age removed with his parents to Broken Hill. He was educated at the North Broken Hill Public School, and was employed for a number of years with Mr. Donald Hooper, of Argent street but later he was in the engineering department of the Proprietary Mine. He enlisted in the early stages of the war, and was attached to the famous 10th. He saw service on Gallipoli, and has been practically the whole of his time in action. Prior to his enlistment he was an active member of the North Broken Hill Rifle Club in which body he has won numerous prizes. He also filled many offices in the Y.M.C.A., and was a member of the Court Pride of the North, A.O.F., and a member of the F.E.D. & F.A. up to the time of enlisting. Another son, Capt W. H. Perry, of the original 10th, is on active service." - from the Adelaide Observer 27 Ovt 1917 (nla.gov.au)
