Served in The Great War, now resting at Sandgate Cemetery.
55 years ago today, on the 5th July 1965, Private William Loades, 1st Battalion, fruiterer from 3 Fleming Terrace, Hunter Street West, Newcastle, New South Wales, was laid to rest at Sandgate Cemetery, age 65. ANGLICAN 3-216. 35.

I have not located William’s name inscribed on any known War Memorial or Roll of Honour.
The headstone inscription gives no indication that William served with the 1st A.I.F., so I have placed poppies and a 1914-1918 WAR label, kindly supplied by Andrea Gerrard and John Thomas, in remembrance of his service for God, King and Country.
