"LATE DVR. A. PEPALL.
Mrs. Pepall, of Melbourne street, Lower North Adelaide, has been advised that her son, Dvr. Alfred Pepall, died of wounds on August 9, in France. He was a keen young soldier, and went to Melbourne and Sydney twice with the premier cadets of South Australia. He left Melbourne in November last with the artillery. He had just completed his apprenticeship as a carpenter and joiner when he enlisted. Dvr. Pepall was a proficient piano player. Two other brothers, Sgt. Alec, and Cpl. Charles Pepall, are fighting in France." - from the Adelaide Register 25 Sep 1916 (nla.gov.au) (nla.gov.au)
