"THE LATE PRIVATE GRAY.
Private C. G. H. Gray, who was killed in action in France on November 6, was a son of Mrs. E. Thompson, of Penola. He enlisted in the 10th reinforcements of the 27th Battalion, in November, 1915, and went to Egypt. He was reported to be dangerously ill in June last, and he was invalided to England. He returned to France on October 2, and was transferred to another battalion. He was about 30 years old, and at the time he joined the army he was employed on the East-west railway, where he was very popular with his comrades." - from the Adelaide Chronicle 23 Dec 1915 (nla.gov.au)
