Biography

"THE LATE PRIVATE HARRY W. OSBORNE.

Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Osborne, of 75, Frederick-street, Maylands, have received news from the Defence Department that their second son, Private Harry W. Osborne, was killed in France on August 16. He was born at Maylands on February 3, 1895, and spent his 21st birthday on board the transport which conveyed him to Egypt. Prior to enlisting he was engaged as a cabinetmaker at Messrs. Reid Bros., Unley. He was of a quiet and reserved disposition and greatly respected by all in the district for his manly qualities. He attended the Maylands Methodist Church." - from the Adelaide Chronicle 30 Sep 1916 (nla.gov.au)
