TWO MEN DROWNED
Police yesterday recovered the bodies
of two drowned men, one from Walsh
Bay and the other from a canal in
Scarborough Park, Kogarah.
The Kogarah victim was Jack Oliver
Sullivan of Culver Street Kogarah
a soldier who was on leave from a
northern battle station. He slipped
into the canal which was fllled with
flood water. His brother Ronald A.
Sullivan . 21 also a soldier on leave,
who was with him, jumped into the
canal in an attempt to save him, but
the rush of water swept him from his
grasp
My grandfather was Ronald A Sullivan (Young) brother of Jack, this event changed Ron greatly, more so than the war.
