Mr. Joseph H Blackman, formerly school master of the Oxley Public School for over two years, I regret to report, has been killed in action in France on the 14th April He was twice previously wounded, once in the leg, and left arm, second gunshot wound in head, but after some months in Canterbury Hospital, England, went back to the firing line, and died a heroe's death. His many friends in Oxley and surrounding district will be grieved to hear of his death, for he was greatly liked and respected for his manly principles.
