Son of William and Emily Nash, of 21, Berkedale Avenue, Clarence Park, South Australia.
Private C. NASH, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Nash, of Julia, was killed in action in France on October 16. He was born at Black Springs, and was 32 years of age. He was educated at the Waterloo public school, and carried on farming pursuits with his father and brother till he enlisted. With his parents he went to Anlaby about 12 years ago. He took great interest in the Methodist Sunday-school, of which he was secretary for a time. He was also a member of the Druids' Lodge, Eudunda. Private Nash went into camp on October 16, 1916, and sailed for England in December. He left England for France early in June. He endeared himself to a large circle of friends, and was loved by all.
