Add my storyBiography contributed by Faithe Jones
It was with sorrow that the Greenbushes residents learned of the death of Mr. R.C. Beaesjou, who passed away at the Blue Hospital on Sunday last. The deceased returned from the front about two years ago having been one of the first to respond to the country's call. Since his return he had been attached to the staff of the W.A. Bank, Greenbushes. Unfortunately, since his return he did not enjoy the best of health. Great sympathy is felt for his wife and little child. The deceased had only been married about twelve months.
