"THE LATE SGT. LODGE.
From the Defence Department word has been received by his father (Mr. P. H. Lodge, late of Hill street, North Adelaide) of the death in action of his second son, Sgt. Wilfred Francis (Frank) Hugget Lodge. The deceased soldier spent his twenty-first birthday, on Match 26, on the Island of Lemnos. He was the first of eight members of the reporting staff of The Register to volunteer. He sat for his non-commissioned officer's examination, and was placed third among 40 candidates. News of the death of Sgt. Lodge, was received with deep regret. The lad had a happy disposition, which made for him a wide circle of friends.
Born at North Adelaide, he spent his early years in London, where he went to school. On returning to this State he continued his education at the North Adelaide School, then at Sturt street, and then at the Adelaide High School. For more than two years he was attached to The Register staff, and was "on duty" at the Port Adelaide branch of The Register when he volunteered with the famous 10th." - from the Adelaide Observer 19 Jun 1915 (nla.gov.au)
