"DOCTER.- On the 25th November, killed in action Private Francis Joseph Docter, third son of C. T. and A. Docter, and brother of Harry, Tom, Will, Lizzie and Gertie, aged 23 years. R.I.P.
A precious one from us is gone
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled." - from the Melbourne Advocate 25 Dec 1915 (nla.gov.au)
