Private EDGAR NOTTAGE, of the 11th Battalion, second son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Nottage, of Tammin, W.A., late of the Meadows, fell in action in France, on June 3. His last action was to carry a wounded comrade to a resting camp, and on returning he was struck by the fragments of a shell and killed instantly. He went to Western Australia at the age of 19 years, and after spending some time in farming pursuits, decided to engage in the teaching profession. He entered the Claremont. Training College in 1912, and afterwards was appointed to Narrogin school as assistant, where he was most succcssful. He was a member of the Methodist Church and a Sunday school teacher. Shortly after the outbreak of war he offered his services, but was rejected. After offering three times he was accepted for the A.M.C. It was his desire, however, to share the hardshis of the trenches, and at length his will was gratified. He made the supreme sacrifice on the eve of his twenty-eighth birthday.
