Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

Son of Thomas Leo GREEN and Ethel Elizabeth nee ELLIS

LAKE VIEW
Quite a gloom was cast over the locality during the week past when the news came through that another of our local lads, Thomas Alexander Green, had been killed in action on
July 1. A lovable boy, of a happy go-lucky disposition, he had many friends who will sincerely grieve for his passing. His was the second name to go on the school roll at Lake View  when the new school was opened in 1918. He later attended Redhill school, and then Rostrevor.
Early Mass at St. Martin's on Sunday was offered for him, and practically the whole congregation approached the altar rails on his behalf. 
May his soul rest in peace.
