Son of Stanley Septimus and May Lowe, 100 Byng Street, Orange, NSW
Word has been received of the death of Private Nigel Lowe, who is reported to have been killed in France. The dead soldier was a son of the late Mr. Stanley Lowe, formerly of "Springdale," Spicer 's Creek, and is a stepson of Mr. T. Wotton, of Orange. He was born at "Springdale," and was killed the day before his 21st birthday. Before the war he was in the Pacific Islands, and came to Sydney to enlist. He was well known throughout this district, and many friends will learn his death with regret.
