"LATE SGT. S. G. McGUIRE.
Mr. and Mrs. James McGuire, of Jetty road, Largs Bay, have been notified that their sixth son, Stanislaus Geoffrey, was killed in action in France between August 19 and 22. He was born in Wallaroo on October 2, 1893, and was educated at the Marist Brothers' College, wihere he had a distinguished scholastic career. Prior to enlisting he was on the clerical staff of the Globe Timber Mills. He left for the front in February, 1915. He went through the whole of the Gallipoli campaign, and was wounded once in one of his legs at Lone Pine. According to letters under date July 31, received last mail, he came out of the great push of July safely. The late Sgt. McGuire has two brothers still in the firing line. Another died of wounds, and was buried at Gallipoli." - from the Adelaide Register 26 Sep 1916 (nla.gov.au)
