"THE LATE PRIVATE T. LANGAN.
The death occurred in action in France on August 16 of Private Thomas P. Langan, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Langan, of Port Adelaide. Private Langan, who was killed a month before his twenty-second birthday, was educated at the Marist Brothers' School, Port Adelaide, where his late parents were well known. Prior to enlisting Private Langan worked in the Murray Bridge and Mannum districts, and he won the respect and liking of all who knew him. His only sister is Mrs. W. Gommers, of Hahndorf." - from the Adelaide Chronicle 30 Sep 1916 (nla.gov.au)
