"LATE PTE. A. B. EASTHER.
QUORN, September 28.— News was conveyed to Mrs. G. Easther this afternoon that her son, Pte. A. B. Easther who was recently reported to be seriously wounded in France, had died. The deceased was a brother of Sgt. L. R. Easther of the light horse, who was killed on August 4 in an engagement with the Turks at Romani. There is another brother Charles, at the front in France. Brian was about 21 years of age. He was for a considerable time employed by Rp. Foster but later he worked at Port Augusta. He took part in the Gallipoli campaign until the evacuation. He was educated at the local public school, and was popular." - from the Adelaide Observer 07 Oct 1916 (nla.gov.au)
