Biography

"THE LATE CPL. J. V. WALLACE

Mr. and Mrs. T. Wallace, of Tanunda, have been notified that their youngest Son, Cpl. Jack V. Wallace, died of wounds on August 3. He enlisted on Australia Day, 1915, and had spent 10 months in the trenches. Cpl. Wallace, who was within 12 days of his twenty first birthday, was a general favourite. He spent his earlier life at Petersburg, but finished his education at the the Christian Brothers' College, and took a leading part in athletics. He was awarded a medal for gymnastics, was a prominent footballer, and rowed in the college crew when they won the Schools' Championship in 1912. There are two brothers at the front, Dvr. F. C. and Sgt. G. G. Wallace (wounded)." - from the Adelaide Register 24 Aug 1917 (nla.gov.au)
