Biography contributed by Daryl Jones

Son of Charles Bengal Colburt and Jane Colburt, of 6th Avenue, Campsie, New South Wales. Native of Neville, New South Wales.

TOO DEARLY LOVED TO BE FORGOTTEN

Private Edward Charles Colburt, of B Company, 19th Battalion, who died of wounds on November 20, was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. B. Colburt, of Campsie, and grand-son of Mr. C. Colburt, Goulburn. He was born at Neville, his parents afterwards residing at Cowra, where he was for four years employed by Mr. J. M. G. Tucker until a few months prior to enlisting. He left Sydney on June 25, and was a fine, promising young man, only 22 years of age, having spent his last birthday in Egypt. He leaves six sisters and one brother, who all reside at Campsie.
