"THE LATE PRIVATE L. F. HOLLYWOOD
Mr. and Mrs. P. B. Hollywood, of Nairne-terrace, Forestville, have received news of the death of their fifth son Private Leo Francis Hollywood, on July 24, from wounds received in action in France. Private Hollywood was 18 years old last April. He enlisted 12 months ago. Prior to joining the colors he was employed at Messrs. Walter & Morris' Timber Mills, and was a member of the Timber Workers Union. He possessed a genial disposition and was respected by a wide circle of friends. Three of his brothers are on active service." - from the Adelaide Advertiser 17 Aug 1916 (nla.gov.au)
