Biography

"THE LATE PRIVATE A. W. MALEY.

It has now been learned that Private A. W. Maley, of the 16th Battalion, 1st Reinforcements, who was reported missing and wounded some time ago, was killed in action on May 2, 1915. Private Maley, who was 23 years of age, was the youngest son of Mr. C. R. Maley, of Scott-street, Parkside. He formerly was a member of the staff of Messrs. Goode, Durrant, and Co., and of Messrs. Angus & Gosling, and he was as popular among his workmates as he was among his fellow players on the football and cricketing fields, in both of which branches of sport he was proficient. Private Maley left a widow and two children." - from the Adelaide Chronicle 27 May 1916 (nla.gov.au)
