From the "Bendigonian", Thursday 2 May 1918 page 7:
"WRIGHT.--- In memory of our dearly loved son, Private Charles Wright (Mack), killed at the Gallipoli landing, 25th April, 1915. One of the best, a loving son, A brother kind and true; So dearly loved, so sadly missed. By everyone he knew. ---Inserted by his loving mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Alvah Wright. WRIGHT.--- In loving memory of our dear brother (Mack), Private C. J. Wright, killed in action at Gallipoli, 25th April 1915. He sleeps not in his native land, But under foreign skies, Far, far from those who loved him, in a hero's grave he lies. --- Inserted by Son and Agnes. For Freedom's Cause."
"IN MEMORIAM. WRIGHT.--- In loving memory of our dear brother Pte. C. J. Wright, who was killed at the landing at Gallipoli, 25th April, 1915. Some time, some day our eyes shall see That dear face we hold in memory; And Christ shall link the broken chain Still closer when we meet again. --- Inserted by his loving sister and brother-in- law, E. and L. Swift."
