Word was received in Busselton this afternoon of the death from wounds received in action, of Lce. Corp. Victor Albert Thompson, youngest son of Mrs. G. H. Fenner of Busselton. Lce. Corp. Thompson was a fine type of good Australian, clean living, practically tireless, and popular with his comrades. He was in the landing at Gallipoli, and had been fighting almost continuously for the past 18 months. His death took place on the 12th inst. Much sympathy will be felt for Mrs. Fenner and the members of the family.
