Son of Joseph and Alice TREGLOWN; husband of Alice T. TREGLOWN, McKern Street, Campsie, New South Wales

KILLED IN ACTION
PTE. THEO. TREGLOWN.
On Tuesday night Mrs. Theodore Treglown, of Corney Town, received a wire front Col. Sandford to the effect that her husband, Pte. "Theo.'' Treglown, was killed in action in France on the 6th instant. The deceased soldier, who was 38 years of age, was born at Hartley Vale, and had lived all his life in Lithgow and district. He had nearly a year's experience in the war zone, and prior to enlisting was employed in the Zigzag colliery. The late Pte. Treglown was highly respected and deservedly popular among a large circle of friends. The widow, mother, sister and three brothers (one of whom is now at the war); will have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement.
