MR. REGINALD NUGENT.

At the Gympie General Hospital last week the death occurred of Mr. Reginald Nugent, at the age of 48 years.
He was one of the original Anzacs and was invalided home after service on Gallipoli. A native of the Pomona district, where he was engaged in the timber industry, he was a son of the late Mr. R. J. Nugent and Mrs. M. A. Nugent, and leaves a family of four sons. Henry, Montague, Clive and John, and two daughters, Joyce and Ailsa. His wife died a few years ago. Moving to the Pomona cemetery, the funeral was largely attended, the graveside service being conducted by the Rev. J. C. Thomson.
