Biography contributed by Paul Trevor

'Farewell.

Private Murray Buxton, who has gone with the A.I.F., was tendered a farewell by the farewell committee a little while ago. He was presented with a wallet and note by a large number of friends present despite the inclement weather. Private Buxton suitably responded.' from Huon and Derwent Times Sept 4 1941 (nla.gov.au)
