Personal Stories
Edward
Edward was born in Charters Towers on 21.8.1896 to Joseph Warren and Anne Marie (Neale). He enlisted in Townsville and embarked from Brisbane on 3.1.1916, bound for Egypt.
Edward was admitted to the hospital with severe bronchitis and was medically discharged on 13.9.1916. The Medical Board advised that the cough was due to being a miner.
When he moved to Proserpine and worked as a farmer, his health improved. He was married on 8.12.1917 to Sarah Beatrice Morrison, and they resided on the corner of Main and Fuljames Streets, Proserpine, until he passed away on 5.8.1959.
