Son of William James GALLAWAY and Jessie Ann nee GORE, Bay View House, South Wynnum, Brisbane, Qld.
Mrs. Gallaway, of Wynnum South, near Brisbane, has been notified that her fourth son, Private Claude Belmore Gallaway, 25th Battalion (previously reported missing), was killed at Pozieres on 29th July, 1916. The late soldier left Australia in July, 1915, for Egypt. He was then sent to Gallipoli, where he remained until the evacuation, proceeding soon after to France, where he was in the firing line up to the time of his death. Private Gallaway's eldest brother has been at the front since May, 1916, and his only two remaining brothers are now in camp, making four brothers who have given their services to their country. The late Claude B. Gallaway was a native of Goulburn (his father was at one time teacher at Eastgrove Public School), and his late grandfather, Edward Gore, of Gilmour, also his great grandfather, Admiral John Gore, will be remembered in the Goulburn district amongst the earliest colonists. His cousin, Pte. Graham Stewart Gore, son of the late Graham Gore, of Gilmour, was also killed in action in France a short time ago.
