Enlisted 26 August 1914 7th Battery New Zealand Field Artillery

BUSHELL.—Killed in action, my dear son, Dante, somewhere in France, on 27th March, 1917; he leaves three sisters and two brothers (one on active service) to mourn his loss. 

Secure to-day from grief and care,

Plunged to-morrow in deep despair;

There comes a shock and an awful pain,

And life looks never the same again.

—(Inserted by his sorrowing mother, 8 Rowena parade, Richmond.)

TO THE EDITOR OF THE AGE.
Sir, -Perhaps some, of your readers will  remember  Dante Bushell, who attended the State school in George-street, also St. Mark's Sunday school, Fitzroy.  They might also recall at one of their Sunday picnics a  little boy, Carl Carter, who fell into a dam, and was
rescued by Dante Bushell, for which act he later on received a certificate from tho Royal Humane Society.  He was then thirteen, and Carl about five years.
Dante at the age of 20 went to New Zealand. Just  after his arrival there war broke out and he enlisted with the first contingent, giving two years and a half  service for his country before losing his life In 1917.
Perhaps some of the scholars will also remember the Rev. E. Snodgrass, who was vicar at the time of the accident
at Greensborough. — Yours. &c
Armadale. E. BUSHELL.
