Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

Son of William and Maud BRYCE, Byron Bay, New South Wales

Member of Cavanbah 231 Lodge

On Thursday night the sad news came through that Corporal W. K. Bryce. of the 16th Reinforcements, Australian Light Horse, had been killed in action in Palestine. The deceased young soldier was the only son of Mr. W. J. A. Bryce (manager of the local E.S. and A. Bank). The supreme sacrifice has again been made, he gladly gave up his promising career, his life for freedom, King, and Country. Our sympathy is with the bereaved.
