Son of William Natal and Isabella D'ANGRI, Ballarat, Victoria.
Corpl Norman D'Angri, son of Mrs D'Angri, of Lydiard street, was killed in action on 26th September, and his widowed mother was notified yesterday. The information was sent through the Rev. J. Snell. The deceased enlisted in Ballarat, and left with the 23rd Battalion on 26th November, 1915. After spending some time in Egypt he was sent to France. He took part in the battle of Bapaume, and was wounded in the thigh. He was out of action for some time, and he was subsequently twice in hospital suffering from diphtheria. He was a Ballarat boy, and worked in the Railway Department. He was an old scholar of the Neil Street Sunday School.
D'ANGRI.—In loving memory of my dear son and brother, Crpl. Norman D'Angri, 31st Battalion, killed in action at Polygon Wood, 26th September, 1917.
Could I his mother have clasped his hand,
The son I loved so well.
To kiss his brow when death was near
And whisper "Dear Norm, farewell."
Sweet is the memory left behind
Of one so noble, true and kind;
His fight is fought, he stood the test—
Dear Norm was one of the best.
—Inserted by his loving mother, brother and sisters.
