"THE LATE PRIVATE A. C. NOBLE.
Mrs. J. B. Noble "Ashley," High-street, Grange, has been advised that her youngest son, Private Alan Campbell Noble, died of wounds on May 9.

He was a member of the Grange Methodist Church and Sunday-school, and was loved and respected by a large circle of friends. Private Noble left Australia on April 11, 1916, for the front, where two of his brothers are serving — Privates Stanley T. Noble and George F. Noble." - from the Adelaide Chronicle 30 Jun 1917 (nla.gov.au)
