"SGT. CHARLES CURRY.
Sergeant Charles Curry, late 14th Battalion, is officially reported killed in action in France on October 21. He was one of three sons of Mr Dennis Curry, of 190 Ballarat road, serving at the Front, and a brother of Mrs M. Smith, of Summerhill road. In his two years' or more service, he fought on Gallipoli, was in at the evacuation, and saw stirring times in France. He was 22 years of age, and was well known and liked by those who knew him. As a boy he went to school at No. 253." - from the Footscray Independent 24 Nov 1917 (nla.gov.au)
