PRIVATE J. C. BENDLE.
Private J. Clarence Bendle, who died of wounds was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Bendle, of Springhurst, Victoria. He left Sydney with the 5th Reinforcements of the 4th Battalion, and died on August 11 on the way to hospital, being buried at sea. Private Bendle, who came to the Nambucca River about two years ago, was a blacksmith, and a man of splendid physique. A memorial service was held on Sunday in the Local Methodist church, of which he was an earnest worker." - from the Sydney Morning Herald 06 Sep 1915 (nla.gov.au)
