Biography

"OUR HEROES. LATE CORPORAL FRED. LINDNER.

Mrs. C. Lindner, of Tait terrace, Croydon, on Friday evening was officially notified that her youngest son, (Corporal Fred. C. Lindner) was killed in action in France on May 21. He was 20 years of age. Enlisting when 17 years of age, Private Lindner saw three years' service, during which he fought at Gallipoli and participated in the evacuation. He was attached to the 27th Battalion. After considerable fighting in France he was wounded last year, but on recovering he was sent back to the firing line last Christmas. Last year a brother (Sergeant Leslie Lindner) was killed in action in France, and another brother (Trooper Gilmore Lindner) is now serving in Palestine. Three of the four Lindner brothers were in khaki, the fourth (Mr. Harold Lindner) having been seven times rejected." - from the Adelaide Daily Herlad 04 Jun 1918 (nla.gov.au)
