DEARLY LOVED BY LOVING FATHER, BROTHERS AND SISTER MISSED BY ALL
PRIVATE ALLAN GREEN
Our Surat correspondent writes: We greatly regret to announce that Pte. Allan Green has been reported "killed in action" during recent battles in New Guinea. Deceased was only 26 years of age, and was the son of Mr. Harry Green, of Surat. The young man joined the A.I.F. over two years ago and served with the forces abroad, returning to Australia early this year, when he spent several days' leave in Surat. He was popular with a large circle of friends who mourn his death and extend sympathy to his father and relatives.
