Son of Lt.-Col. Noel Murray Brazier and Edith Maud Brazier, of Kirup, Western Australia.
FOR KING AND COUNTRY
Pre-war, Arthur Brazier lived at "Capeldene," Kirup, with his parents, Col. N. M. and Mrs. Brazier. When the A.I.F. appeal was made he responded and linked up with the forces. After months of training he went with the Australians to Singapore and later still fell into Japanese hands as a prisoner of war. Only one card was received from him. The sad news came to his parents on Tuesday that he had died of illness in 1943. At the time of his enlistment he was a member of the Balingup Road Board and at his Kirup farm ran Southdown and Romney Marsh studs as well as a fine herd of dairy cattle. His loss to the district is a heavy blow.
