Add my storyBiography contributed by Stephen Brooks
The son of Lewis Edward and Jemima Ann Warren; husband of Blanche Foresyth Warren, of 18, Richardson Street, West Perth, Western Australia.
His only brother 1384 Clarence Hampton Warren 32nd Battalion AIF was killed at Fromelles 19 July 1916.
Their father, Mr. Louis Warren went to Western Australia from South Australia in about 1904 to take charge of the late Hon. F.H. Piesse's station at Riverdale. Two years later he became manager for Mr. A. E. Piesse at Langaweira, which post he filled with marked success. He died suddenly of a heart attack in 1914. Their mother died in early 1915, just before her only two sons enlisted.
Lewis was also managing a property at Tambellup WA and was desperately trying to sort his brother Clarence’s affairs when he enlisted.
