The two enlisted sons of Michael and Catherine Halloran (nee Dougherty) of Tolga via Atherton, Queensland:-
3447 Pte. Thomas Michael Halloran (/explore/people/325576) - Killed in Action at Passchendaele, Belgium on 12 October 1917;
286A Pte. John Dominic Augustine Halloran - Killed in Action near Strazeele, France on 31 May 1918.
"TABLELAND DISTRICT NOTES
Tolga. - One item only, which I very much regret to have to record. Word has been received that Private John Halloran, second son of Mr. and Mrs. M. Halloran, has been killed in action. His younger brother, Tommy, was also listed on that final-dread casualty roll a few months ago. The utmost sympathy is expressed for Mr. and Mrs. Halloran in their sad double bereavement, even when it is mellowed by the fact that their boys died nobly on the field." from the Cairns Post 20 Jun 1918 (nla.gov.au)
